Anesthesia and Analgesia 1981; 6 0 4652. 17. TIGERSTEDT I, JANHUNEN L, TAMMISTO T. Efficacy of diclofenac in a single prophylactic dose in postoperative pain.Two techniques of total intravenous anaesthesia for laparoscopy were compared in 80 patients . Group 1 received alfentanil, propofol and vecuronium, and Group 2 alfentanil, midazolam, ketamine and vecuronium. Haemodynamic stability after induction and the pressor response to tracheal intubation were sign$cantly different. There was no signij?cant difference in recovery times between the two groups and little difference in other postoperative sequelae.

A Comparative Study of the Effect of Fentanyl 25 MCG with Bupivacaine 0.5% Verses Buprenorphine 60 MCG with Bupivacaine 0.5% in Spinal Anaesthesia for Elective Caesarean Section

“…Pain is a complicated subjective experience, which is challenging to measure in a reproducible way 5 . Operative pain is more extreme after surgery which thereafter gradually tapers over the next 24 hours 6 . Existance of pain has been a led to the discovery of both newer drugs and procedures of pain relief.…”

“…84 Denying the existence of severe pain is neither humane nor effective, but much can be done by medical and nursing staff both before and after pera at ion. "^ The importance of psychological factors is emphasised by the fact that there is evidence that patients with low 'neuroticism' scores have less pain than those with Work involving questionnaires'" given in an English teaching hospital to both patients and the nurses looking after them on the wards and administering a conventionally prescribed analgesic regimen showed several disturbing features.…”

To compare intravenous paracetamol with tramadol given pre-emptively for intraoperative and postoperative analgesia- A randomized controlled trial

“…3 Post-operative pain is maximum during initial 48-72 hours & it declines thereafter. 4 However, post-operative pain still is an overlooked entity that receives little care. 5 In this study we have compared two commonly used analgesics; Paracetamol and Tramadol pre-emptively; to know their efficacy in treating intraoperative and postoperative pain with or without any side-effects.…”
