Naloxone use after high-dose fentanyl anesthesia is associated with hypertension and requires prolonged observation, making conventional inhalation anesthetics preferable for brief procedures.
Conventional inhalation anesthesia is recommended over high-dose fentanyl reversed by naloxone for brief surgical procedures to avoid complications like hypertension.
ofnaloxoneiO also requires that the patient is observed for a long time in the recovery room after high dosc fentanyl anaesthesia.Because of these potential complications.we recommend a more conventional inhalation anaesthetic regimen consisting of nitrous oxide, oxygen and a potcnt inhalation agent such as isoflurane for brief surgical procedures.Surtil Bartiuhu.rMediic.ulC m t w
