Abstract
Tramadol (Crispin) is a non-narcotic analgesic which has strong and longlasting analgesic action, with little effect upon the respiratory and circulatory systems. We used this drug in combination with Atarax-P and atropine as a premeditation for surgery under local anesthesia. 54 patients for sinus surgery and 49 for middle ear surgery were the subjects examined. These drugs were injected intramuscularly about 45 minutes before operation. To evaluate the analgesic action, we graded pain on a scale from 1 to 5. The results were as follows. Good analgesic action was observed in over 90% of patients. Better results were obtained when 150mg of Crispin was used in comparison with 100mg of Crispin. The blood pressure during operation tended to rise in about a half of the patients. This side effect, however, may be controlled, if another drug with stronger sedative action is used concomitantly.
