Homogeneous remifentanil-propofol blend for patient controlled anesthesia and process for its use

摘要

The present invention utilizes a homogeneous mixture of Propofol (2,6- diisopropylphenol) and Remifentanil (N-Phenyl-N-(4- piperidinyl) amides), designed to deliver a constant proportion of drugs to the patient, specifically designed to provide enhanced results when administered via a PCA modality. The Remifentanil/Propofol homogeneous mixture (REMIPRO) is supplied in a dosage range of 1,000 parts Propofol to 10 parts Remifentanil (1,000 microgram Propofol: 10 microgram Remifentanil) to 20, 000 parts Propofol to 10 parts Remifentanil (20,000 microgram Propofol: 10 ug Remifentanil). Induction of anesthesia via REMIPRO provides increased patient and physician satisfaction, increased safety, and decreased overall cost as the patient will be more alert after the procedure and will leave the hospital faster.
