    AbstractWe examined the analgesic efficacy and side effects of continuous epidural infusion with buprenorphine in 340 surgical patients. The patients received epidural injection of 0.1 mg of buprenorphine in 8 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine immediately after surgery. The patients who underwent thoracotomy or intraabdominal surgery were subsequently infused with buprenorphine 15 micrograms in 1 ml of 0.25% buprenorphine at a rate of 1 ml.h-1 for 48 h. In the other kinds of surgery, patients were infused with buprenorphine 8 micrograms in 1 ml of 0.25% buprenorphine at a rate of 1 ml.h-1 for 48 h. The patients who did not need additional narcotics were 68% and 83% on the postoperative day 1 and 2, respectively. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was 22 +/- 2 mm at rest and 43 +/- 2 mm at movement on the postoperative day 1. Corresponding values on the postoperative day 2 were 16 +/- 2 mm and 37 +/- 2 mm, respectively. Nausea and vomiting were found in 12.4% of the patients.
