Pre-administration of remifentanil in target-controlled propofol and remifentanil anesthesia prolongs anesthesia induction in neurosurgical patients

摘要

Background:Pre- and co-administration of remifentanil in target-controlled propofol and remifentanil anesthesia are the most common methods in clinical practice. However, anesthesia induction time by timing remifentanil administration was not identified. Therefore, we investigated the induction time of anesthesia based on type of remifentanil administration in target-controlled anesthesia.
