[Clofelin in the anesthesiological support system for surgical operations]

The article presents clinical experience of using Clofelin in 251 patients as a part of general anaesthesia, in postoperative period and in patients with peripheral vascular disease. The experiments on 14 rabbits chinchilla have been done prior to peridural use of Clofelin. The control for adequate use included estimation of hemodynamics parameters, cortizol, vasopressin and B-endorphin levels in plasma on different anaesthesia. The analgetic activity of Clofelin in postoperative period in patients with peripheral vascular disease was estimated by subjective tests using 5 steps of pain estimation scale. The clinical trial demonstrated the efficacy of intravenous and peridural use of Clofelin during surgery and in postoperative period.
