Methods: Intrathecal catheters were implanted in rats. Morphine (0.3 to 10 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1), lidocaine (30-1,000 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1), a combination of those, or saline was infused intrathecally at a constant rate of 1 [micro sign]l/h for 6 days. The tail flick and colorectal distension tests were used to measure the somatic and visceral antinociceptive effects, respectively. Nociceptive tests and motor function tests were repeated on days 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6. Isobolographic analysis was performed on the results of the tail flick test to determine the magnitude of the interaction.
Results: Intrathecally infused morphine produced dose-dependent antinociceptive effects in both the tail flick and the colorectal distension tests. Morphine showed a lower peak percentage maximum possible effect (%MPE) in the colorectal distension test than in the tail flick test. Intrathecal lidocaine also produced dose-dependent antinociceptive effects. Lidocaine infusion at 1,000 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1 caused motor impairment. Coinfusion of morphine 0.3 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1 and lidocaine 200 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1, which had no effects by themselves, significantly increased the percentage maximum possible effects (P < 0.01). Coinfused lidocaine potentiated the duration and the magnitude of morphine antinociception. Isobolographic analysis of the tail flick test on day 1 showed a synergistic interaction between morphine and lidocaine. 相似文献
Methods: Using rats chronically implanted with lumbar intrathecal catheters, the ability of intrathecally administered ouabain, morphine, and lidocaine and of mixtures of ouabain-morphine and ouabain-lidocaine to alter tail-flick latency was examined. To characterize any interactions, isobolographic analysis was performed. The effects of pretreatment with intrathecally administered atropine or naloxone also were tested.
Results: Intrathecally administered ouabain (0.1-5.0 [micro sign]g), morphine (0.2-10.0 [micro sign]g), and lidocaine (25-300 [micro sign]g) given alone produced significant dose- and time-dependent antinociception, but systemic administration of ouabain did not produce such an effect. The median effective dose (ED50) values for intrathecally administered ouabain, morphine, and lidocaine were 2.3, 5.0, and 227.0 [micro sign]g, respectively. Isobolographic analysis exhibited a synergistic interaction after the coadministration of ouabain and morphine. With ouabain and lidocaine, there was no such evidence of synergism. Intrathecally administered atropine, but not naloxone, completely blocked the antinociceptive effect of ouabain and attenuated its interaction with spinally administered morphine. 相似文献
Methods: C fiber-evoked potentials were recorded in the superficial laminae I-II of the rat lumbar spinal cord with glass microelectrodes in response to electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve. High-frequency stimulation was applied on the sciatic nerve to induce long-term potentiation of C fiber-evoked field potentials, a form of central sensitization. To test the effect of fentanyl on acute nociception, fentanyl was infused intravenously at increasing doses (6-192 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1). One hour after start of infusion, high-frequency stimulation was applied to evaluate effects of fentanyl on the induction of long-term potentiation.
Results: In the absence of fentanyl, high-frequency stimulation potentiated C fiber-evoked field potentials to 149 +/- 12% of controls (mean +/- SEM; n = 6) for at least 1 h. Increasing doses of fentanyl led to a significant reduction of C fiber-evoked potentials in a dose-dependent manner. The induction of long-term potentiation was blocked by low doses of fentanyl (infusion 12-48 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1). At high doses, fentanyl did not block the induction of long-term potentiation (infusion 96-192 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1). 相似文献
Methods: Experiments were performed in healthy young men (n = 9) and women (n = 7). Dynamic ventilatory responses to square-wave changes in end-tidal carbon dioxide tension (7.5-15 mmHg) and step decreases in end-tidal oxygen tension (step from 110 to 50 mmHg, duration of hypoxia 15 min) were obtained before and during morphine infusion (intravenous bolus dose 100 [micro sign]g/kg, followed by 30 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1). Each hypercapnic response was separated into a fast peripheral and slow central component, which yield central (Gc) and peripheral (Gp) carbon dioxide sensitivities. Values are mean +/- SD.
Results: In carbon dioxide studies in men, morphine reduced Gc from 1.61 +/- 0.33 to 1.23 +/- 0.12 l [middle dot] mmHg-1 (P < 0.05) without affecting Gp (control, 0.41 +/- 0.16 and morphine, 0.49 +/- 0.12 l [middle dot] [middle dot] min-1 [middle dot] mmHg-1, not significant). In carbon dioxide studies in women, morphine reduced Gc, from 1.51 +/- 0.74 to 1.17 +/- 0.52 l [middle dot] min-1 [middle dot] mmHg-1 (P < 0.05), and Gp, from 0.54 +/- 0.19 to 0.39 +/- 0.22 l [middle dot] min-1 [middle dot] mmHg-1 (P < 0.05). Morphine-induced changes in Gc were equal in men and women; changes in Gp were greater in women. In hypoxic studies, morphine depressed the hyperventilatory response at the initiation of hypoxia more in women than in men (0.54 +/- 0.23 vs. 0.26 +/- 0.34 l [middle dot] min-1 [middle dot] %-1, respectively; P < 0.05). The ventilatory response to sustained hypoxia (i.e., 15 min) did not differ between men and women. 相似文献
Methods: Thirty-two women were assigned randomly to one of two drug treatment groups. After premedication with 0.04 mg/kg intravenous midazolam, anesthesia was induced with 2 [micro sign]g/kg intravenous fentanyl, 1.5 mg/kg intravenous propofol, and 0.6 mg/kg intravenous rocuronium, and maintained with desflurane, 2%, and nitrous oxide, 65%, in oxygen. Before skin incision, an infusion of either remifentanil (0.02 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) or adenosine (25 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) was started and subsequently titrated to maintain systolic blood pressure, heart rate, or both within 10-15% of the preincision values.
Results: Adenosine and remifentanil infusions were effective anesthetic adjuvants during lower abdominal surgery. Use of adenosine (mean +/- SEM, 166 +/- 17 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) was associated with a significantly greater decrease in systolic blood pressure and higher heart rate values compared with remifentanil (mean +/- SEM, 0.2 +/- 0.03 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1). Total postoperative opioid analgesic use was 45% and 27% lower in the adenosine group at 0-2 h and 2-24 h after surgery, respectively. 相似文献
Methods: Forty intent-to-treat patients were randomly allocated to receive a blinded infusion of either remifentanil 0.15 [mu]g[middle dot]kg-1[middle dot]min-1 or morphine 0.75 [mu]g[middle dot]kg-1[middle dot]min-1. The opioid infusion was titrated, in the first intent, to achieve optimal sedation defined as Sedation Agitation scale of 4. A midazolam open-label infusion was started if additional sedation was required.
Results: The mean percentage hours of optimal sedation was significantly longer in the remifentanil group (78.3 +/- 6.2) than in the morphine group (66.5 +/- 8.5). This was achieved with less frequent infusion rate adjustments (0.34 +/- 0.25 changes/h) than in the morphine group (0.42 +/- 0.22 changes/h). The mean duration of mechanical ventilation and extubation time were significantly longer in the morphine group (18.1 +/- 3.4 h, 73 +/- 7 min) than in the remifentanil group (14.1 +/- 2.8 h, 17 +/- 6 min), respectively. Remifentanil mean infusion rate was 0.13 +/- 0.03 [mu]g[middle dot]kg-1[middle dot]min-1, whereas morphine mean infusion rate was 0.68 +/- 0.28 [mu]g[middle dot]kg-1[middle dot]min-1. More subjects in the morphine group (9 of 20) than in the remifentanil group (6 of 20) required midazolam. The incidence of adverse events was low and comparable across the two treatment groups. 相似文献
Methods: Fifty young adult patients undergoing intestinal surgery under general anesthesia with propofol were studied. At induction, the patients received epidurally either an initial dose of 2 micro gram/kg clonidine followed by an infusion of 0.5 micro gram [center dot] kg-1 [center dot] h-1 (group 1, n = 10) or 4 micro gram/kg followed by 1 micro gram [center dot] kg-1 [center dot] h-1 (group 2, n = 20) or 8 micro gram [center dot] kg-1 [center dot] h-1 followed by an infusion of 2 micro gram [center dot] kg-1 [center dot] h-1 (group 3, n = 20). During the operation, increases in arterial blood pressure or heart rate that did not respond to a propofol bolus (0.5 mg/kg) were treated with a bolus of intravenous lidocaine (1 mg/kg). Three successive injections were allowed. When baseline values were not restored, opioids were added and the patient was removed from the study. After operation, the clonidine infusions were maintained for 12 h. During this period and at every 30 min, sedation scores and visual analog scale values at rest and at cough were noted. In case of subjective scores up to 5 cm at rest or up to 8 cm at cough, the patients were given access to a patient-controlled analgesia device that delivered epidural bupivacaine. The end point of the study was reached once the patient activated the analgesic delivery button.
Results: During surgery, 60% of patients in group 1 compared with 33% of patients in group 2 and only 5% of patients in group 3 were removed from the study protocol because of inadequate anesthesia (P < 0.05). After operation, epidural clonidine provided complete analgesia lasting 30 +/- 21 min in group 1 compared with 251 + 237 min in group 2 or 369 +/- 256 min in group 3 (P < 0.05 for group 1 vs. groups 2 and 3 and group 2 vs. group 3). 相似文献
Methods: Sixty patients participated in this randomized double-blinded study. Patients received lidocaine 1% (lidocaine group) with a 1.5 mg/kg-1 intravenous bolus in 10 min followed by a 1.5 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1 intravenous infusion or saline (control group). These regimens were started 30 min before surgical incision and stopped 1h after skin closure. Lidocaine blood concentrations were measured at the end of administration. In both groups, postoperative analgesia was provided exclusively by patient-controlled intravenous morphine. Pain scores, morphine consumption, and operative hip flexion were recorded over 48 h. In addition, pressure pain thresholds and the extent of hyperalgesia around surgical incision were systematically measured at 24 and 48 h.
Results: In comparison with the placebo, lidocaine did not induce any opioid-sparing effect during the first 24 h (median [25-75% interquartile range]; 17 mg [9-28] vs. 15 mg [8-23]; P = 0.54). There was no significant difference regarding the effects of lidocaine and placebo on pain score, pressure pain thresholds, extent in the area of hyperalgesia, and maximal degree of active hip flexion tolerated. Mean plasma lidocaine concentration was 2.1 +/- 0.4 [mu]g/ml. 相似文献
Methods: Fifty adult patients undergoing major abdominal surgery were randomly assigned to two anesthetic regimens: (1) desflurane was kept constant at 0.5 minimum alveolar concentrations and a remifentanil infusion was titrated to autonomic responses (remifentanil group); or (2) remifentanil at 0.1 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 and desflurane titrated to autonomic responses (desflurane group). All patients were given a bolus of 0.15 mg/kg morphine 40 min before the end of surgery. Morphine was initially titrated to need by postanesthesia care nurses blinded to group assignment. Subsequently, patients-who were also blinded to group assignment-controlled their own morphine administration. Pain scores and morphine consumption were recorded for 24 postoperative h.
Results: The mean remifentanil infusion rate was 0.3 +/- 0.2 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 in the remifentanil group, which was significantly greater than in the desflurane group. Intraoperative hemodynamic responses were similar in each group. Postoperative pain scores were significantly greater in the remifentanil group. These patients required morphine significantly earlier than those in the desflurane group and needed nearly twice as much morphine in the first 24 postoperative h: 59 mg (25-75% interquartile range, 43-71) versus 32 mg (25-75% interquartile range, 19-59;P < 0.01). 相似文献
Methods: An awake, spontaneously breathing rat model was used. Twenty male Sprague-Dawley rats received an intravenous infusion of lidocaine (3 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1; group C) or lidocaine with epinephrine (3 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 and 2 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1, respectively; group E) for 10 min (n = 10 in each group). Effects of epinephrine on the convulsive dose and concentrations of total (protein-bound and unbound) and unbound lidocaine in plasma were examined. Concentrations of extracellular lidocaine in the cerebral nucleus accumbens were quantitatively determined by a microdialysis method.
Results: The convulsive dose of lidocaine was significantly lower in group E than in group C (22.4 +/- 5.5 vs. 27.9 +/- 3.1 mg/kg, respectively; P < 0.05). Overall concentrations and area under the plasma concentration-versus-time curve of unbound lidocaine in group E were significantly higher than those in group C. Concentrations of extracellular lidocaine in the nucleus accumbens in group E were comparable to those of unbound fraction in plasma and were also significantly higher than those in group C. 相似文献
Methods: Before standardized general anesthesia, 56 adult scheduled for major knee surgery were randomly assigned to one of three groups, each to receive a different postoperative analgesic technique for 72 h: continuous epidural infusion, continuous femoral block, or intravenous patient-controlled morphine (dose, 1 mg; lockout interval, 7 min; maximum dose, 30 mg/4 h). The first two techniques were performed using a solution of 1% lidocaine, 0.03 mg/ml morphine, and 2 [micro sign]g/ml clonidine administered at 0.1 ml [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1. Pain was assessed at rest and during continuous passive motion using a visual analog scale. The early postoperative maximal amplitude of knee flexion was measured during continuous passive motion at 24 h and 48 h and compared with the target levels prescribed by the surgeon. To evaluate functional outcome, the maximal amplitudes were measured again on postoperative day 5, at hospital discharge (day 7), and at 1- and 3-month follow-up examinations. When the patients left the surgical ward, they were admitted to a rehabilitation center, where their length of stay depended on prospectively determined discharge criteria.
Results: The continuous epidural infusion and continuous femoral block groups showed significantly lower visual analog scale scores at rest and during continuous passive motion compared with the patient-controlled morphine group. The early postoperative knee mobilization levels in both continuous epidural infusion and continuous femoral block groups were significantly closer to the target levels prescribed by the surgeon than in the patient-controlled morphine group. On postoperative day 7, these values were 90 [degree sign] (60-100 [degree sign]) (median and 25th-27th percentiles) in the continuous epidural infusion group, 90 [degree sign] (60-100 [degree sign]) in the continuous femoral block group, and 80 [degree sign] (60-100 [degree sign]) in the patient-controlled morphine group (P < 0.05). The durations of stay in the rehabilitation center were significantly shorter: 37 days (range, 30-45 days) in the continuous epidural infusion group, 40 days (range, 31-60 days) in the continuous femoral block group, and 50 days (range, 30-80 days) in the patient-controlled morphine group (P < 0.05). Side effects were encountered more frequently in the continuous epidural infusion group. 相似文献
Methods: Patients scheduled for hysterectomy under general anaesthesia were enrolled in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Patients received a standardized general anesthetic and postoperative patient-controlled analgesia. They were randomized to receive 60 mg patient-controlled analgesia morphine in 30 ml saline or 60 mg morphine in 30 ml saline with naloxone 0.8 mg. Parameters for patient-controlled analgesia were a 1-mg bolus of morphine with a 5-min lockout and no background infusion. Patient recall of nausea, vomiting, itching, and pain (at rest and with movement) were assessed at 6 and 24 h postoperatively by verbal rating score. Pain was also assessed by a 0- to 100-mm visual analog score, and sedation was assessed by an observer. The amount of morphine used and the requirements for symptomatic treatment were also recorded.
Results: Ninety-two patients completed the study, with no significant differences in outcomes between groups. At 24 h, the incidence of nausea was 84.8% in each group; the incidence of pruritus was 56.5% in the naloxone group and 58.7% in the placebo group. There were also no differences in symptomatic treatment requirements, pain scores, morphine use, or sedation between groups. The median dose of naloxone received equated to 0.38 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1 over 24 h. 相似文献
Methods: The study was performed in two parts. Phase 1 used human lymphocytes in an in vitro model of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) generation in response to dobutamine (10-8 to 10-4 M) or epinephrine (10-9 M to 10-5 M), and dobutamine and epinephrine together. Phase 2 was a clinical study in patients after aortocoronary artery bypass in which isobolographic analysis compared the cardiotonic effects of dobutamine (1.25, 2.5, or 5 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) or epinephrine (10, 20, or 40 ng [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1), alone or in combination.
Results: In phase 1, dobutamine increased cAMP production 41%, whereas epinephrine increased cAMP concentration [almost equal to] 200%. However, when epinephrine (10-6 M) and dobutamine were combined, dobutamine reduced cAMP production at concentrations between 10-6 to 10-4 M (P = 0.001). In patients, 1.25 to 5 [micro sing]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 dobutamine increased the cardiac index (CI) 15-28%. Epinephrine also increased the CI with each increase in dose. However, combining epinephrine with the two larger doses of dobutamine (2.5 and 5 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) did not increase the CI beyond that achieved with epinephrine and the lowest dose of dobutamine (1.25 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot]-1 min (-1)). In addition, the isobolographic analysis for equieffective concentrations of dobutamine and epinephrine suggests subadditive effects. 相似文献
Methods: Sixteen patients were randomly assigned to undergo a 6-h stable isotope infusion study (3 h fasted, 3 h feeding) on the second day after colorectal surgery performed with or without perioperative epidural blockade. Protein synthesis, breakdown and oxidation, glucose production, and clearance were measured by l-[1-13C]leucine and [6,6-2H2]glucose.
Results: Epidural blockade did not affect protein and glucose metabolism in the fasted state. Parenteral alimentation decreased endogenous protein breakdown and glucose production to the same extent in both groups. Administration of glucose and amino acids was associated with an increase in whole body protein synthesis that was modified by the type of analgesia, i.e., protein synthesis increased by 13% in the epidural group (from 93.3 +/- 16.6 to 104.5 +/- 11.1 [mu]mol [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1) and by 4% in the patient-controlled analgesia group (from 90.0 +/- 27.1 to 92.9 +/- 14.8 [mu]mol [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1;P = 0.054). 相似文献
Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats (weight, 250-300 g) were implanted with chronic lumbar intrathecal catheters and were assigned to receive one of several doses of morphine-ACEA 1021 (NMDA glycine site antagonist), ACEA 2085 (AMPA antagonist), AP-5 (NMDA antagonist), saline or vehicle-and were tested for their effect on the response latency using a 52.5 [degree sign]C hot plate. The combinations of morphine and other agents also were tested.
Results: Intrathecal morphine (ED50:2 [micro sign]g/95% confidence interval, 1-4 [micro sign]g) and ACEA 2085 (6 ng/2-15 ng), but not AP-5 or ACEA 1021, yielded a dose-dependent increase in the thermal escape latency. A systematic isobolographic analysis was carried out between intrathecal morphine and ACEA 2085 using the ED50 dose ratio of 357:1. A potent synergy was observed with decreased side effects. Morphine dose- response curves were carried out for morphine and fixed doses of ACEA 1021 (12 [micro sign]g) or AP-5 (10 [micro sign]g). No synergistic interactions were noted. 相似文献
Methods: Forty patients scheduled to undergo laparoscopic colectomy were randomly allocated to receive intravenous lidocaine (bolus injection of 1.5 mg/kg lidocaine at induction of anesthesia, then a continuous infusion of 2 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1 intraoperatively and 1.33 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1 for 24 h postoperatively) or an equal volume of saline. All patients received similar intensive postoperative rehabilitation. Postoperative pain scores, opioid consumption, and fatigue scores were measured. Times to first flatus, defecation, and hospital discharge were recorded. Postoperative endocrine (cortisol and catecholamines) and metabolic (leukocytes, C-reactive protein, and glucose) responses were measured for 48 h. Data (presented as median [25-75% interquartile range], lidocaine vs. saline groups) were analyzed using Mann-Whitney tests. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Patient demographics were similar in the two groups. Times to first flatus (17 [11-24] vs. 28 [25-33] h; P < 0.001), defecation (28 [24-37] vs. 51 [41-70] h; P = 0.001), and hospital discharge (2 [2-3] vs. 3 [3-4] days; P = 0.001) were significantly shorter in patients who received lidocaine. Lidocaine significantly reduced opioid consumption (8 [5-18] vs. 22 [14-36] mg; P = 0.005) and postoperative pain and fatigue scores. In contrast, endocrine and metabolic responses were similar in the two groups. 相似文献
Methods: After institutional approval and informed patient consent were obtained, 23 patients scheduled to undergo supratentorial tumor surgery were randomly assigned to remifentanil or fentanyl infusion groups in a double-blinded manner. Midazolam, thiopental, and pancuronium induction was followed by equipotent narcotic loading infusions of remifentanil (1 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) or fentanyl (2 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) for 5-10 min. Patients were ventilated with 2:1 nitrous oxide-oxygen, and opioid rates were reduced and then titrated to a stable hemodynamic effect. After dural exposure, CBF was measured by the intravenous133 xenon technique at normocapnia and hypocapnia. Reactivity of CBF to carbon dioxide was calculated as the absolute increase in CBF per millimeters of mercury increase in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2). Data were analyzed by repeated-measures analysis of variance, unpaired Student's t tests, or contingency analysis.
Results: In the remifentanil group (n = 10), CBF decreased from 36 +/- 11 to 27 +/- 8 ml [middle dot] 100 g-1 [middle dot] min-1 as PaCO2 decreased from 33 +/- 5 to 25 +/- 2 mmHg. In the fentanyl group (n = 8), CBF decreased from 37 +/- 11 to 25 +/- 6 ml [middle dot] 100 g-1 [middle dot] min-1 as PaCO2 decreased from 34 +/- 3 to 25 +/- 3 mmHg. Absolute carbon dioxide reactivity was preserved with both agents: 1 +/- 1.2 ml [middle dot] 100 g-1 [middle dot] min-1 [middle dot] mmHg-1 for remifentanil and 1.5 +/- 0.5 ml [middle dot] 100 g-1 [middle dot] min-1 [middle dot] mmHg-1 for fentanyl (P = 0.318). 相似文献
Methods: Fifty-four women were randomized to receive either angiotensin II or ephedrine infusion intravenously during spinal anesthesia for elective cesarean section delivery. Simultaneous with subarachnoid injection, infusion of angiotensin II (2.5 [micro sign]g/ml) or ephedrine (5 mg/ml) was initiated at 10 ng [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 and 50 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1, respectively. The rate of each infusion was adjusted to maintain maternal systolic blood pressure at 90-100% of baseline.
Results: Cumulative vasopressor doses (mean +/- SD) through 10, 20, and 30 min were 150 +/- 100, 310 +/- 180, and 500 +/- 320 ng/kg in the angiotensin group and 480 +/- 210, 660 +/- 390, and 790 +/- 640 [micro sign]g/kg in the ephedrine group. Maternal heart rate was significantly higher (P < 0.001) during vasopressor infusion in the ephedrine group than in the angiotensin group. Umbilical arterial and venous blood pH and base excess were all significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the angiotensin group than in the ephedrine group. 相似文献
Methods: Twenty-five volunteers were subjected to three treatment regimens. A standardized first-degree burn injury was induced. On appearance of primary and secondary hyperalgesia, one of the following infusion schemes was applied in a randomized, double-blind, cross-over fashion: (1) infusion of naloxone (0.8 mg/15 min followed by 0.4 mg/h), succeeded by infusion of ketamine (0.3 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] 15 min-1 followed by 0.3 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1); (2) infusion of placebo, succeeded by infusion of ketamine (0.3 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] 15 min-1 followed by 0.3 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1); and (3) infusion of placebo, succeeded by infusion of placebo. Heat-pain detection thresholds, magnitude of secondary hyperalgesia around the burn injury, and side effects were determined.
Results: Ketamine reduced secondary hyperalgesia. Naloxone did not affect the action of ketamine. The magnitudes of side effects were equal if the subjects received ketamine, regardless of preceding infusion of naloxone. 相似文献
