No difference in stress response with fentanyl versus Althesin during laparoscopy; leaves open optimal technique selection pending randomized trials.
Does fentanyl compared to Althesin infusion alter the metabolic and hormonal response in patients undergoing laparoscopy?
Laparoscopy induces a significant stress response characterized by elevated cortisol, prolactin, and glucose, which is not differentially affected by fentanyl versus Althesin supplementation.
Cooper et al. (1982) studied this question.
