Remifentanil induced changes in gastric tone with both increases and decreases. The effect of remifentanil on gastric tone is probably dependent on the current state of the systems involved. Pre-operative fasting, bioavailability of drugs given orally (i.e. pre-medication), gastric retention with the associated risk of aspiration and the post-operative start of oral intake are examples of issues that are highly dependent on gastric motility. Gastric motility is often impaired during and after surgery/anesthesia as a result of many contributing factors. Opioids, given as part of the anesthesia and the post-operative analgesic regimes, play a major role in this impairment.
