Fog-free recovery: new anesthesia cuts post-op funk
Article Abstract:
Patients that have been given the general anesthesia remifentanil generally wake up after surgery without the usual grogginess. Remifentanil is as effective as morphine, but takes only 5 minutes to dissipate from the body. It is easy to control and does not damage the kidneys or the liver.
