Description

Remifentanil is a potent and short-acting synthetic opioid analgesic. It is an analog of fentanyl, differing in the structure of the phenylpiperidine moiety. Its rapid onset and offset of action are due to its rapid hydrolysis in the blood by esterases, resulting in inactive metabolites. Remifentanil is primarily used for general anesthesia, especially for procedures requiring rapid induction and emergence. It is also used for sedation during mechanical ventilation and for pain management in critical care settings. Its rapid onset and offset allow for precise control of analgesia and sedation, making it particularly useful for procedures requiring rapid adjustments in anesthetic depth. Remifentanil is extensively studied due to its unique pharmacokinetic profile, which offers several advantages over traditional opioids, such as fentanyl. Research focuses on optimizing its use in various clinical settings, including general anesthesia, critical care, and pain management.'

Remifentanil: A piperidine-propionate derivative and opioid analgesic structurally related to FENTANYL. It functions as a short-acting MU OPIOID RECEPTOR agonist, and is used as an analgesic during induction or maintenance of general anesthesia, following surgery, during childbirth, and in mechanically ventilated patients under intensive care.

Overview

Remifentanil (RF) is a potent short-acting μ-opioid receptor agonist. It is an effective drug in peri-operative pain therapy, but it can also induce and aggravate hyperalgesia. Remifenil TCI is a suitable protocol for procedural sedation.

Effects

Remifentanil has a rapid onset and short duration of action, predictable pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile, and unlike fentanyl, does not accumulate with repeated or prolonged administration. Remi has a place in obstetric anaesthesia and analgesia.

Remifentanil has been suggested as the opioid of choice for labor analgesia, having the advantage of easy administration and predictable pharmacokinetics. It has a short half-lives: the values of alpha and beta decay are about 2 and 15 min, respectively. Remifenil also has a sparing effect on hypnotics and sedatives.

Experimental Cold-induced Pain - IGFBP-1

The effect of insulin growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1), a serum hypoxia marker, on the change of cold-induced pain thresholds under remifentanil was estimated using a mixed linear regression model. The results were expressed by the estimated beta (95% CI), indicating how much the change in the cold pain threshold (expressed in seconds) under remifentanil, was altered per unit of change in the IGFBP-1. For example, for every 1-pg/mL increase in the serum level of IGFBP-1, cold pain threshold will additionally increase by 0.0025 seconds for every 1-mcg/mL increase in the plasma level of remifentanil.

Percent Change From Baseline in Size (Area) of Secondary Hyperalgesia After Cessation of Remifentanil Infusion, a Measure of Opioid-induced Hyperalgesia (OIH).

A slightly modified version of a previously described model of secondary hyperalgesia was used. Two copper wires contained in a microdialysis catheter were inserted in parallel over a length of 5 mm into the dermis of the right volar forearm. The wires were connected to a constant current stimulator controlled by a pulse generator to deliver rectangular and monophasic pulses with a duration of 0.5 mg at 2 Hz. Over a period of 15 min, the current was increased by targeting a pain rating of 5 on an 11-point numeric rating scale (0 = no pain and 10 = maximum tolerable pain) until the hyperalgesic area surrounding the stimulation site was fully established. Once the area was established, the current was held constant. Percent change from baseline in size (area) of secondary hyperalgesia after cessation of remifentanil infusion was calculated per group.

Normalized Area of Hyperalgesia Around the Incision

The skin around the incision is stimulated in steps of 5 mm at intervals of 1 s starting outside of the hyperalgesic area in the direction of the incision. The distance from the incision to the first point where a 'painful', 'sore' or 'sharper' feeling occurred is measured and noted. This measurement is repeated at predefined radial lines around the incision. To eliminate the variable length of incision, this length is subtracted from the longer diameter leaving four radial distances from the end and from the middle of the incision. The normalized area of hyperalgesia is calculated by summing up the areas of the remaining four triangles measured by and Von Frey filament. (NCT02043366)

Bleeding threatens surgical field a few seconds after suction is removed.~Moderate bleeding, frequent suctioning required. Bleeding threatens surgical field as soon as suction is removed.~Severe bleeding, constant suctioning required.
