Mechanism of action

Remifentanil acts as a mu-opioid receptor agonist in the central nervous system, producing rapid-onset analgesia and sedation suitable for perioperative use. Lidocaine blocks voltage-gated sodium channels in nerve fibers, preventing action potential propagation and providing local anesthetic effects. The combination is used to provide both systemic analgesia and local anesthetic benefit during procedures.
