Before receiving anesthesia, let your doctor know if you are currently using fentaNYL. Narcotic pain medications like fentaNYL may alter the effects of desflurane, which may reduce the dosage of desflurane required for anesthesia. You should be closely monitored by the surgical staff while you are under anesthesia. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

MONITOR: Opioids may be expected to decrease the minimum alveolar concentration required for inhalation anesthetics. When these agents are used concomitantly, less inhalation anesthetic may be required.

MANAGEMENT: In general, anesthesia should be titrated to clinical effect by those experienced in anesthesia technique and in the care of patients receiving opioids.
