This allows the desired target blood concentration appropriate for any individual patient and level of surgical stimulation to be achieved and maintained at any time. There is no single blood concentration of an anaesthetic agent which will result in satisfactory anaesthesia for all patients and all surgical conditions. It is necessary to titrate the target concentration against each patient's clinical response. Target-controlled systems provide the best estimate of the blood concentration at any time and permit the required target concentration to be achieved as accurately and as rapidly as possible.</p>","PeriodicalId":11873,"journal":{"name":"European journal of anaesthesiology.

Opioids mimic the actions of endogenous opioid peptides by interacting with mu, delta or kappa opioid receptors. The opioid receptors are coupled to G1 proteins and the actions of the opioids are mainly inhibitory. They close N-type voltage-operated calcium channels and open calcium-dependent inwardly-rectifying potassium channels. This results in hyperpolarization and a reduction in neuronal excitability. They also decrease intracellular cAMP which modulates the release of nociceptive neurotransmitters (e.g. substance P). Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by cyclooxygenase is the principal mode of the analgesic and anti-inflammatory actions of NSAIDs. Cyclo-oxygenase is inhibited irreversibly by aspirin and reversibly by other NSAIDs. The widespread inhibition of cyclo-oxygenase is responsible for many of the adverse effects of these drugs. NSAIDs also reduce prostaglandin production within the CNS. This is the main action of paracetamol.</p>","PeriodicalId":11873,"journal":{"name":"European journal of anaesthesiology.
