E=DRUG: Remifentanil vs fentanyl
--------------------------------------------

Dear colleagues
What is the experience of use of remifentanyl in place of fentanyl for intra operative pain?  We currently stock fentanyl but there is a push for remifentanyl, which is new in the Kenyan market, yet it has been in the UK for 10 or more years. IS remifentanyl a multisource product?
