Seizures in a 77-year-old-woman after a bolus dose of remifentanil.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Hysterectomy is often carried out as same-day surgery. Treatment of postoperative pain is, therefore, of utmost importance to ensure timely discharge from hospital. Methadone has several desirable pharmacological features, including a long elimination half-life. Theoretically, a single intraoperative dose co...
