title: [Nalbuphine/propofol anesthesia in the surgical treatment of war injuries].
abstract: In this retrospective study, the course of anesthesia and postoperative analgesia in fourty-one wounded soldiers was analyzed. Large, multiple gunshot wounds of the trunk and extremities, as well as injuries caused by fragments of projectiles and explosive devices were surgically treated. Anesthesia was performed with a combination of nalbuphine and propofol. The average relative dose of nalbuphine was 0.28 mg/kg, while the average relative dose of propofol was 3.46 mg/kg. The average duration of anesthesia was 24.85 minutes and the average duration of postoperative analgesia was 8.29 hours. No significant influence on cardiovascular functions was found, and no other serious side effects were noticed. A statistically significant positive correlation was confirmed between the patients's body weight and dose of nalbuphine, as well as between the duration of anesthesia and dose of propofol.
