Comparison of remifentanil and propofol infusions for sedation during regional anesthesia.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Pregabalin is often used as a perioperative analgesic adjunct; some studies show benefit, but others do not. Adverse effects, such as confusion and sedation, have been attributed to perioperative use of pregabalin. We tested the hypothesis that pregabalin, when used as part of a multimodal ana...
