Simple and efficient way of pain management after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery is an important aspect of patients' care. ⋯ Both morphine and diclofenac suppositories reduced pain significantly and similarly after CABG surgery.

Sufentanil and alfentanil have pharmacokinetic and dynamic properties which make them favourable substances for total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) in combination with propofol. ⋯ Both protocols provide excellent anesthesia, but patients receiving sufentnail had more stable anesthesia and less postoperative pain.

Postoperative pain is a major complaint following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. ⋯ Intraperitoneal administration of hydrocortisone is as effective as bupivacaine to reduce pain and analgesic requirements after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
