Background-Effective analgesia during intraoperative and postoperative period is preeminent in any surgery for which opioids and non opioid analgesics have been widely studied and used. Aims and Objectives -We did an observational cohort study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single bolus dose of intravenous buprenorphine (a partial mu -receptor agonist ) as the main analgesic adjunct to General Anaesthesia. Methods -300 patients were included in this study which was done at Shri KMJ Memorial Hospital And Research Centre (Gondia,Maharashtra), Gondia City Hospital (Gondia, Maharashtra),Modi hospital, Mumbai from 2013 to 2014.Baseline demographic characteristics including age,sex,surgical procedure and duration,ASA status were recorded and well distributed .Additional intraoperative and postoperative analgesic requirement,including opioids , was recorded.Postoperative pain scores at regular intervals were recorded.In addition patient satisfaction scores were recorded.Adverse events like nausea,vomiting,respiratory depression were recorded and effectively managed.
Conclusion-Intravenous Buprenorphine provided effective analgesia during intraoperative and postoperative period with good patient satisfaction.
