Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of nitrous oxide on desflurane MACBAR at two target-controlled concentrations of remifentanil.
The aim of this prospective, randomized, double-blind study was to determine the effect of nitrous oxide on the desflurane requirement for blunting sympathetic response following surgical incision (MACBAR) when desflurane was combined with two different target-controlled concentrations of remifentanil (1 and 3 ng/mL). ⋯ The addition of 60% nitrous oxide reduces the MACBAR of desflurane by 52% when using a remifentanil concentration of 1 ng/mL, and reduces the MACBAR by 10% when using a remifentanil concentration of 3 ng/mL.
