It is widely used in obstetrical anesthesia because of its short time to action peak (about 5 min.), the rapid termination of its effect after a single dose, and the occurrence of relative cardiovascular stability. Because of fentanyl's high lipid solubility, its effects are more localized than morphine, and some clinicians prefer to use morphine to get a wider spread of analgesia. Obstetrics įentanyl is sometimes given intrathecally as part of spinal anesthesia or epidurally for epidural anaesthesia and analgesia. The almost immediate onset of fentanyl reduces visceral discomfort and even nausea during the procedure. Spinal administration of hyperbaric bupivacaine with fentanyl may be the optimal combination.
Regional anesthesia įentanyl is the most commonly used intrathecal opioid because its lipophilic profile allows a quick onset of action (5–10 min.) and intermediate duration of action (60–120 min.). Balancing this medication and titrating the drug based on expected stimuli and the person's responses can result in stable blood pressure and heart rate throughout a procedure and a faster emergence from anesthesia with minimal pain. įor pain relief after surgery, use can decrease the amount of inhalational anesthetic needed for emergence from anesthesia. These are often given in 15–30 minute intervals throughout procedures such as endoscopy and surgeries and in emergency rooms. To maintain anesthesia, inhaled anesthetics and additional fentanyl may be used. To induce anesthesia, it is given with a sedative-hypnotic, like propofol or thiopental, and a muscle relaxant. Intravenous fentanyl is often used for anesthesia and to treat pain. Factories in China manufacture fentanyl or fentanyl precursors it is then smuggled into other countries for illicit sale in the United States, the Chinese-manufactured fentanyl is smuggled primarily via Mexico. It can be cut into, or even replace entirely, the supply of heroin and other opiates. Compared with heroin, it is more potent, has higher profit margins, and, because it is compact, has simpler logistics. In 2021, fentanyl and fentanyl analogues accounted for most drug overdose deaths in the United States with 71,238 deaths. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. As of 2017, fentanyl was the most widely used synthetic opioid in medicine in 2019, it was the 278th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than one million prescriptions. In 2015, 1,600 kilograms (3,500 pounds) were used in healthcare globally. It is around 100 times stronger than morphine and about 50 times stronger than heroin.įentanyl was first made by Paul Janssen in 1960 and approved for medical use in the United States in 1968. Fentanyl works by activating μ-opioid receptors. Serious adverse effects may include respiratory depression, hallucinations, serotonin syndrome, low blood pressure, or development of an opioid use disorder. Ĭommon adverse effects of fentanyl include nausea, vomiting, constipation, itching, sedation, confusion, and injuries related to poor coordination.

Medically, it is used by injection, nasal spray, or skin patch, or absorbed through the cheek as a lozenge or tablet. It has a rapid onset and its effects generally last under two hours. Fentanyl is commonly used to create counterfeit pills disguised as Ox圜ontin, Xanax, Adderall, among others. Its potentially deadly overdose effects can be neutralized by naloxone.
It is also used illicitly as a recreational drug, sometimes mixed with heroin, cocaine, benzodiazepines or methamphetamine. Together with other drugs, fentanyl is used for anesthesia.

Nowadays,I am producing at home studio and touring around the world with my most recent show ENTREMUNDOS, as well as delivering workshops of Brazilian Music as sponsored musician by the Brazilian percussion brand "Contemporânea". Throughout my career, I had the opportunity to performed and recorded alongside with artists such as Luís Melodia, Fafá de Belém,Titãs, Dom Salvador, Tânia Alves, Mawaca group, Orquestra Mundana, Luiza Possi, Lecí Brandão, Daúde, Tavito, Paulo Moura, Orquestra Jazz Sinfônica, David Liebman, and many others.
My main activities are experiments with many different percussions and create new sounds and grooves with that.Įmilio Martins is a profissional percussionist and drummer from São Paulo, Brazil.Ī long time I developed research around World Music exploring different ways to think about rhythm, mixing my knowledge of Brazilian music with African grooves, Indian grooves and North american grooves. I am Emilio Martins, Brazilian percussionist, drummer, composer, educator and producer.
