[Use of tramal for prevention of motor hyperactivity during r fiber bronchoscopy in patients in the postoperative period]. / Primenenie tramala dlia preduprezhdeniia motornoi giperaktivnosti pri provedenii fibrobronkhoskopii u patsientov v posleoperatsionnom periode.

The efficacy of tramal for preventing motor hyperactivity is assessed in patients on spontaneous respiration after surgery during fiber bronchoscopy under a short-acting hypnotic ethomidate. Group 1 consisted of 22 patients to whom 100 mg of tramal was injected intravenously 30 min before fiber bronchoscopy, group 2 of 10 patients subjected to fiber bronchoscopy without preliminary tramal. Ethomidate caused manifest 20-45-sec myoclonus in the distal parts of the upper and lower limbs in 80% of cases. Pretreatment with tramal (100 mg intravenously) decreased the severity and incidence of myoclonus to 18.2%, did not affect gas exchange, and stabilized hemodynamics during fiber bronchoscopy.
