    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology and Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Fentanyl (Sublimaze) is a potent synthetic opioid analgesic.
    • It is frequently employed for conscious sedation in medical procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the use of fentanyl in combination drug therapy for conscious sedation.
    • To highlight its role in neuroleptanesthesia for endoscopic procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of fentanyl's application in combination with droperidol (Inapsine) and midazolam (Versed).
    • Comparison of fentanyl-based sedation with traditional agents like meperidine (Demerol).

    Main Results:

    • Fentanyl facilitates conscious sedation for diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic interventions.
    • The combination of fentanyl, droperidol, and midazolam creates neuroleptanesthesia.

    Conclusions:

    • Fentanyl serves as a key component in modern sedation strategies for endoscopic procedures.
    • Its use in neuroleptanesthesia enhances patient management and cooperation during interventions.
