Secondary outcome [3] 329194 0
Correlation of gene polymorphisms with the postoperative consumption of non steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic drugs.
If patients need postoperative analgesia they will be treated fistly with 1000mg paracetamol (i.v.). and if the pain remains with 40mg parecoxib (i.v.).
The consumption of 1000mg paracetamol and 40mg parecoxib will be recorded.

Summary
Brief summary
Genetic factors may alter the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of certain analgesic agents and therefore can modify individual clinical response to their administration. Although polymorphisms of enzymes responsible for the metabolism and transport of various drugs eventually affect their pharmacokinetics, other polymorphisms may also alter the pharmacodynamics of the particular drug. Patients undergoing elective thyroidectomy have different requirements in perioperative analgesia with short action opiate. In order to investigate the possible association of the response of these patients to remifentanil with the polymorphisms of SLC6A4 andABCB1 genes we will administer remifentanyl with Target Controlled Infusion technique in patients undergoing elective thyroidectomy. Preoperatively all patients will be evaluated with Hamilton anxiety scale rating test. The total remifentanyl requirements as well as the subjective postoperative pain will be associated with the polymorphisms of SLC6A4 andABCB1 genes.
