fentanyl and Paralysis

fentanyl has been researched along with Paralysis in 12 studies

Fentanyl: A potent narcotic analgesic, abuse of which leads to habituation or addiction. It is primarily a mu-opioid agonist. Fentanyl is also used as an adjunct to general anesthetics, and as an anesthetic for induction and maintenance. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1078)
fentanyl : A monocarboxylic acid amide resulting from the formal condensation of the aryl amino group of N-phenyl-1-(2-phenylethyl)piperidin-4-amine with propanoic acid.

Paralysis: A general term most often used to describe severe or complete loss of muscle strength due to motor system disease from the level of the cerebral cortex to the muscle fiber. This term may also occasionally refer to a loss of sensory function. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p45)

"0 mumol) or equimolar fentanyl into the cerebral ventricles of rats induced a sequence of motor effects including catatonia, a novel flaccid paralysis, and recurrent catatonia."3.68Paradoxical opiate specific paralytic effects of high doses of intracerebroventricular etorphine and fentanyl in rats. ( Coghill, RC; Frenk, H; Leshem, M; Mayer, DJ, 1991)
"We describe a case of transitory monoplegia following obstetric epidural anaesthesia which we believe to be either due to direct trauma to the nerve roots or radicular artery spasm resulting in spinal cord ischaemia both secondary to the epidural catheter."2.40Monoplegia following obstetric epidural anaesthesia. ( Cheong, KF; Loo, CC, 1997)
