Intubating conditions and side effects of propofol remifentanil and sevoflurane compared with propofol remifentanil and rocuronium: a randomised prospective clinical trial

摘要

BackgroundTracheal intubation without muscle relaxants is usually performed with remifentanil and propofol or sevoflurane. Remifentanil 1.0 to 4.0 μg·kg^-1 and propofol 2.0-3.0 mg·kg^-1 or sevoflurane up to 8.0 Vol% provide acceptable, i.e. excellent or good intubating conditions. We hypothesized that sevoflurane 1.0 MAC would provide acceptable intubating conditions when combined with propofol and remifentanil.
