Randomized Controlled TrialEffects of remifentanil on propofol requirements for loss of consciousness in target-controlled infusion.
We evaluated the effects of various doses of target-controlled remifentanil on the propofol requirements for the loss of consciousness (LOC) and the consequent hemodynamic changes on the induction of intravenous anesthesia in day-case surgery. ⋯ The effect of altering the target-controlled remifentanil concentration during propofol induction was found to be dose-dependent. There was no significant difference in the cardiovascular response with the studied range of concentrations of remifentanil and propofol.
