Extensive clinical studies have shown that intraoperative infusion high dose of remifentanil (0.2ug/kg/min) induced postoperative hyperalgesia. Recent experimental study however suggests that higher dose of remifentanil may attenuate postoperative hyperalgesia. Thus, the present study is designed as a \"proof of principle\" study and hypothesizes that higher dose of remifentanil may reduce postoperative pain in patients.
