AbstractMicrolaryngeal surgery was performed with total intravenous anesthesia using pentazocine and propofol in 20 patients. The patients were paralyzed by suxamethonium infusion and ventilated by high frequency jet ventilation via the laryngoscope. In place of the opioid analgesics commonly used in TIVA for microlaryngeal surgery, pentazocine was given. All but one of the patients received pentazocine 15 m.g. intramuscularly as a premedication and then another 15 m.g. intravenously for induction of anesthesia. Average time of surgeries was 33.6 minutes. Average doses of pentazocine and suxamethonium given during surgeries were 369 m.g. and 286 m.g., respectively. This technique allowed stable anesthesia to be achieved with rapid postoperative recovery, without serious complications like intraoperative return of awareness.
