Effect of remifentanil infusion at different speed on propofol injection pain
To investigate the influence of remifentanil infusion at different speed on propofol injection pain.
Methods
2
Totally 200 patients who accepted elective surgery under general anesthesia with tracheal intubation were selected. The patients were divided into C group,R2 group,R3 group, R4 group and R5 group by random number table method, with 40 patients in each group,and they were injected with remifentanil at a constant rate of 0 μg·kg

, respectively.After 2 minutes of remifentanil infusion, a target controlled infusion of propofol at an effect-site concentration of 2.5 μg/mL was initiated. The incidence of propofol injection pain,the severity of injection pain, heart rate and mean arterial pressure before remifentanil infusion and before tracheal intubation were compared among the 5 groups.The incidence of complications such as hypotension, bradycardia and chest wall stiffness of patients was recorded.
Results
2
The incidence and the severity of propofol injection pain of patients in R2 group, R3 group, R4 group and R5 group were significantly lower than those in C group (
P
<
0.05).The incidence of propofol injection pain of patients in R4 group was significantly lower than those in R2 group and R3 group, and the severity of propofol injection pain of patients in R4 group was significantly lower than that in R2 group (
P
<
0.05).The incidence and the severity of propofol injection pain of patients in R5 group was significantly lower than those in R2 group and R3 group (
P
<
0.05).However, there were no statistically significant differences in the incidence or severity of injection pain between R2 group and R3 group, and between R4 group and R5 group(
P
>
0.05).None of the patients in each group had complications such as hypotension, bradycardia, decreased pulse oxygen saturation, and chest wall stiffness that required drug treatment. And there was no adverse reactions such as pain, edema, redness at the injection site occurred within 24 hours after operation.
Conclusion
2
Remifentanil infused at a constant rate of 0.4 μg·kg

starting at 2 minutes before propofol administration is effective in reducing propofol injection pain without causing serious complications.
