ABSTRACT: Background
Perioperative anesthetic and/or analgesic demand present considerable variation, and part of that variation appears to be genetic in origin. Here we investigate the impact of common polymorphisms in OPRM1, COMT, SLC6A4, ABCB1, and CYP2B6 genes, on the intra-operative consumption of remifentanil and propofol, as well as the postoperative analgesic needs, in patients subjected to thyroidectomy surgery.Methods
We conducted a prospective cohort study with 90 patients scheduled to undergo elective thyroidectomy, under total intravenous anesthesia achieved by target control infusion (TCI) of propofol and remifentanil. Postoperative analgesics were administered by protocol and on-demand by the individual patient. Genotyping was established by PCR-RFLP methods. Genotypin
