    Abstract

    Background: This study compared the analgesic effects of morphine and fentanyl, two more opioid agents, with remifentanil following cardiac procedure. Material and Methods: 75 adult patients scheduled for elective OPCABG procedure with adequate left ventricle function (ejection fraction >40%,left ventricular end-diastolic pressure [LVEDP] <18 mmHg) were studied.The following patients were excluded from the study: those who had an intraoperative intra-aortic balloon pump insertion, were older than 70 years old, had unstable angina, abnormal hepatic or renal function, had undergone a previous sternotomy, or were undergoing emergency surgery.
