A comparison of the effect on gastric emptying of alfentanil or morphine given during anaesthesia for minor surgery

Abstract: SummaryTwenty patients, scheduled for minor gynaecological surgery, were studied. Anaesthesia was induced with propofol and maintained with oxygen, nitrous oxide and enjlurane. Patients were randomly allocated to two groups: group 1 were given alfentanilO.2 mg; group 2 were given morphine 5 mg. The rate of gastric emptying was measured indirectly by the paracetamol absorption technique. The results showed that morphine caused greater delay in gastric emptying compared with alfentanil ( p c 0.05). The observed … Show more

“…Administration of opioid analgetic drugs could be a cause of delayed gastric emptying and drug absorption in the perioperative periods. [36][37][38] Opioids can increase tone and reduce motility in several gut segments, enhance absorption of fluids, and inhibit secretion. 39,40 Delayed gastric emptying could increase the risk of complications like vomiting and pulmonary aspiration.…”

“…13 (2) In previous studies of GE assessed by paracetamol absorption, C max has failed to disclose a significant difference in GE rate, while t max has successfully shown it. 14,15 (3) Because C max is very highly correlated with AUC, some authors think that C max represents the extent rather than the rate of drug absorption. 13 The division of C max by AUC, which adjusts the potentially high correlation between the two quantities, eliminates the influence of the extent of absorption from C max .…”
