Comparison of Analgesic Efficacy of Butorphanol and Fentanyl in Various Surgeries
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: An ideal perioperative analgesic should offer protection against the pressor response should provide intense analgesia sufficient to relieve pain of surgical incision, maintain the haemodynamic parameters and should provide adequate postoperative analgesia. Aim and objective: To compare analgesic efficacy of butorphanol and fentanyl quantitatively Methodology: 60 patients of either sex between age groups 18-55 years ASA I and II who were posted for surgeries under general anaesthesia. After premedication with inj. glycopyrrolate 5 μg/kg intravenously patients were given butorphanol 20 μg/kg intravenously or fentanyl 1μg/kg intravenously in equianalgesic doses. Results and discussion: Time required to achieve VAS score 4 was higher in butorphanol group as compared to fentanyl group. VAS score at 60 min 2.90 ± 0.19(butorphanol) Vs 3.53 ± 0.17(fentanyl) and VAS score at 90 min. 3.23 ± 0.17(butorphanol ) Vs4.33 ± 0.15(fentanyl)].
