Shortest acting opioid analgesic is______________?
Correct answer: C. Remifentanil
- A. Morphine
- B. Fentanyl
- C. Remifentanil
- D. Sufentanil
Explanation
Remifentanil is rapidly hydrolysed by nonspecific blood and tissue esterases, giving it an exceptionally short context-sensitive half-time. It therefore wears off faster than fentanyl, sufentanil and morphine.
