Tramadol ( Tridol ) 을 이용한 균형마취

Tramadol(Tridol) was developed by Grunenthal GmbH as a new non-narcotic analgesic agent. It was used as a new anestheic agent by Stoffregen who works in Hagen, West Germany, instead of neutrolept-anesthetics which make sometimes cause severe post-anesthetic repiratory insufficiency. From September to December 1982, 40 cases of balanced anesthesia with controlled tramadol infusion were performed at Chung Ang Univ. Hospital. The anesthetic results were compared with 72 cases of halothane anesthesia; 1) During anesthetic induction, changes of systolic blood pressure were similar in both 2 groups, but the heart rate was stabler in the tramadol group. 2) Tramadol has little effect on muscular relaxatin. 3) Tramadol anesthesia has very rapid post-anesthetic consciousness recovery time and this little respiratory depression. 4) Post-operative pain was minor in tramadol anesthesia compared to neurolept-anesthesia. 5) The technique of use was very simple, safe and economically cheap in balanced anesthesia with controlled tramadol-infusion.
