Article Synopsis
- Patients undergoing thyroid surgery and receiving high doses of remifentanil often develop opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH), leading to increased pain sensitivity and morphine requirements post-operatively.
- The study evaluated the effects of dexmedetomidine, an α2 agonist, in reducing OIH, comparing its efficacy across different doses and between male and female patients.
- Results showed that both low- and high-dose dexmedetomidine significantly reduced pain intensity and morphine use after surgery, with fewer side effects such as chills, nausea, and vomiting in these groups compared to the control groups.
