Effect of Low Dose Remifentanil on Postoperative Pain Relief and Heart Rate Variability in Post-Anaesthesia Care Unit

摘要

ObjectiveSeveral reports have shown the negligible adverse effects of low-dose remifentanil on the autonomic nervous system. We propose that the administration of low-dose remifentanil would be beneficial without adverse respiratory and hemodynamic effects. This study aimed to examine the effects of low-dose remifentanil on postoperative pain relief and heart rate variability (HRV) after surgery.
