Effects of nefopam on emergence agitation after general anesthesia for nasal surgery: A prospective, randomized, and controlled trial.

Journal: Medicine

PMID: 29381993

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Emergence agitation (EA) occurs frequently after nasal surgery. N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists and analgesics, such as fentanyl, have been shown to prevent EA. Nefopam inhibits the NMDA receptor and shows a potent analgesic effect. We investigated the effects of nefopam on EA in patients undergoing nasal surgery.
