| Project Title: | Comparison of the effect on cognitive function of four different regimens in patient-controlled intravenous infusion (PCA) for post operative analgesia in lower abdominal operations |
| Investigator(s): | Ng JKF, Yang JCS |
| Department: | Anaesthesiology |
| Source(s) of Funding: | Low Budget High Impact Programme |
| Start Date: | 07/1998 |

| Abstract: |
| To compare the effect on cognitive function of tramadol vs fentanyl, the best 'conventional' opioid so far concerning cognitive impairment. The current study is one of our steps in substantiating further the advantages of tramadol. Our ultimate aim is to do a formal cost-effectiveness analysis of using different opioids which will conclude our search for the 'ideal' analgesic for post-operative PCA. |
