Experiences with neuroleptanalgesia in Ibadan
1Department of Anaesthesia, University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria.
A study of the usefulness of neuroleptanalgesia is presented. It was found satisfactory as the sole anaesthetic technique for procedures not lasting longer than 30 minutes. Very painful procedures may require supplementation with another anaesthetic agent. Cardiovascular stability, excellent psychomotor sedation and patient co-operation are some of its advantages. Respiratory depression occurs if the Fentanyl is injected i.v. too fast, but this is reversible. The drugs are also useful for premedication and anaesthesia in poor risk patients. Some precautions for its use are suggested.
