BACKGROUND Although remifentanil provides profound analgesia during operation, postoperative occurrence of hyperalgesia and tolerance after remifentanil administration could be a challenge to the postoperative pain control. In this investigation, we sought to determine the effect of maintenance with propofol or sevoflurane on postoperative analgesia after remifentanil-based anaesthesia. METHODS Two hundred and fourteen women undergoing breast cancer surgery under remifentanil-based general…

Excessive remifentanil during total intravenous anesthesia is associated with increased risk of pain after robotic thyroid surgery
TLDR
Excessive use of remifentanil during TIVA was associated with increased risk of pain after robotic thyroid surgery, and Prospective trials are required to confirm these results and determine whether decreasing remifENTanil consumption below the threshold can reduce postoperative pain.
Effect of remifentanil on the recovery profile after head and neck surgeries: A prospective study
TLDR
In intraoperative remifentanil infusion appears to increase opioid consumption in the immediate postoperative period, which can result in delayed discharge from PACU for patients undergoing elective head and neck procedures.
Differential Postoperative Effects of Volatile Anesthesia and Intraoperative Remifentanil Infusion in 7511 Thyroidectomy Patients
TLDR
Considering the advantages and disadvantages of continuous remifentanil infusion, volatile anesthesia without opioid may be a good choice for minor surgeries, such as thyroidectomy.
Opioid-induced hyperalgesia: pain hurts?
TLDR
The study supported the possibility of the co-existence of tolerance and hyperalgesia in high-dose remifentanil anaesthesia and raised the question whether the increased pain scores and increased demand for opioids observed after operation could be associated with remifENTanil-induced hyper algesia.
Total Intravenous Anaesthesia with High-Dose Remifentanil Does Not Aggravate Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting and Pain, Compared with Low-Dose Remifentanil: A Double-Blind and Randomized Trial
TLDR
TIVA with high-dose remifentanil did not aggravate PONV with similar postoperative pain, compared with low- doses, and high- doses showed more haemodynamic stability after endotracheal intubation.
Effects of intraoperative low dose ketamine on remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia in gynecologic surgery with sevoflurane anesthesia
TLDR
When general anesthesia is maintained with sevoflurane and remifentanil in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery, continuous infusion of low dose ketamine decreased early postoperative pain and the quantity of opioids used.
Stepwise tapering of remifentanil at the end of surgery decreased postoperative pain and the need of rescue analgesics after thyroidectomy
TLDR
Tapering of remifentanil at the end of surgery decreased postoperative pain scores immediately after thyroidectomy with desflurane and high-dose remifENTanil anesthesia.
The Effect of Nefopam Infusion during Laparascopic Cholecystectomy on Postoperative Pain
TLDR
Intraoperative nefopam infusion during laparoscopic cholecystectomy reduced opioid requirements and pain scores (VAS) during the early postoperative period after remifentanil-based anesthesia.
Postoperative analgesia in children after propofol versus sevoflurane anesthesia.
TLDR
In children, anesthesia maintenance with propofol was associated with a significantly lower incidence of postoperative pain than with sevoflurane and recovery time in group S was significantly shorter than the corresponding mean for group P.
Comparison of Intraoperative Infusion of Remifentanil Versus Fentanyl on Pain Management in Patients Undergoing Spine Surgery: A Double Blinded Randomized Clinical Trial
TLDR
Findings suggest that Remifentanil infusion during surgery may increase postoperative pain and visual analog scale (VAS) and morphine consumption were higher during the first 12 hours.

Postoperative Pain and Analgesic Requirements After Anesthesia with Sevoflurane, Desflurane or Propofol
TLDR
Morphine consumption and pain 24 h postoperatively did not differ among the sevoflurane, desflurane and propofol groups.
Improved postoperative analgesia with isoflurane than with propofol anaesthesia
TLDR
It is suggested that isoflurane anaesthesia provides better analgesia than propofol anaesthesia in the first six hours after abdominoplasty.
Acute Opioid Tolerance: Intraoperative Remifentanil Increases Postoperative Pain and Morphine Requirement
TLDR
Relatively large-dose intraoperative remifentanil increased postoperative pain and morphine consumption is suggested to have caused acute opioid tolerance and hyperalgesia.
Modulation of Remifentanil-Induced Postinfusion Hyperalgesia by Propofol
TLDR
The results suggest clinically relevant interactions of propofol and remifentanil in humans, since prop ofol led to a delay and a weakening of remifENTanil-induced postinfusion anti-analgesia in humans.
Comparison of effects of remifentanil and alfentanil on cardiovascular response to tracheal intubation in hypertensive patients.
TLDR
Systolic (SAP), diastolic and mean arterial pressure decreased significantly after induction in both groups, and HR remained stable after induction of anaesthesia, but increased above baseline values after intubation.
Preoperatively administered ramosetron oral disintegrating tablets for preventing nausea and vomiting associated with patient‐controlled analgesia in breast cancer patients
TLDR
Preoperative oral administration of ramosetron at a dose of 0.1 mg is an acceptable and effective way of reducing the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in breast cancer patients.
Subhypnotic doses of thiopentone and propofol cause analgesia to experimentally induced acute pain.
Remifentanil-induced Postoperative Hyperalgesia and Its Prevention with Small-dose Ketamine
TLDR
A relatively large dose of intraoperative remifentanil triggers postoperative secondary hyperalgesia and is prevented by small-dose ketamine, implicating an N-methyl-d-aspartate pain-facilitator process.
Reduction of Isoflurane Minimal Alveolar Concentration by Remifentanil
TLDR
Although remifentanil was given at extremely high concentrations in the absence of isoflurane, it did not provide adequate anesthesia and its MAC reduction is similar to that produced by other opioids.
Comparison of different doses of remifentanil on the cardiovascular response to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation.
TLDR
Baseline heart rate was similar in all groups, but decreased in group 3 (no glycopyrrolate) after induction and remained significantly lower after intubation compared with the other groups (P < 0.05).
