A controlled, double-blind assessment of nalbuphine 0.3 mg kg-1 as an analgesic component of anaesthesia was made in 40 patients undergoing major upper abdominal surgery. The unpremedicated patients received thiopentone, alcuronium, nitrous oxide and oxygen, and either nalbuphine or saline. Enflurane was used to suppress autonomic nervous responses to surgery. Nalbuphine 0.3 mg kg-1 failed to influence the course of anaesthesia or the onset of post-operative pain, and produced no side-effects.
