Completed

• Conditions: Analgesia Disorder

• Registration Number: NCT01785823
• Lead Sponsor: Ajou University School of Medicine

Brief Summary

We investigated the efficacy and the safety of the pharmacokinetic model-based patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) regimens of fentanyl for postoperative analgesia after total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA).

Detailed Description

Infusions of fentanyl (2 ml/hr of diluent was equivalent with 0.5 μg/kg/hr of fentanyl) were maintained at the fixed-rate of 2 ml/hr until the postoperative 24 hr, or at the decremental rates of 6.0 ml/hr or 8.0 ml/hr during 1 hr, 4.0 ml/hr during 1\~3 hr and 2.0 ml/hr during 3\~24 hr, postoperatively.
