title: [Buprenorphine in the analgesic treatment of patients subjected to bladder mapping].
abstract: Experience with 20 patients suffering from prior papillary neoplasia of the bladder, already treated with TUR and then subjected to control vesical mapping exploiting the analgesic effect of a new drug buprenorphine hydrochloride administered i.v. is reported. Changes in cardiorespiratory variables are examined. The data show that buprenorphine offers good pain tolerance; the absence of respiratory depression suggests that it could be used on a larger scale in patients suffering from cardiorespiratory pathology undergoing multiple vesical biopsies.
