Comparison of anileridine and pethidine in preventing pain responses during nitrous oxide-oxygen anaesthesia
Abstract:
The analgesic potency of anileridine and pethidine was compared in 28 patients by measuring their effect on withdrawal movements caused by pinching of the skin or by surgery during N2O + O2 anaesthesia. It appeared that anileridine is 3.5 to 4 times as potent as pethidine on a weight basis. In equianalgesic doses the incidence of side effects was equal after both drugs.
