Duration of apnoea with two different intubating doses of remifentanil

摘要: We have studied the apnoea time after induction with two successful drug intubating regimes, both containing remifentanil. Group 1 (n = 20); propofol 2 mg kg-1 and remifentanil micrograms group kg-1, microgram lignocaine kg-1. Intubation was possible in all 40 patients, regarded as acceptable 90% 85% of respectively. The median to return spontaneous respiration 487 s 270 (P < 0.05). Median end-tidal CO2 concentration at first 7.37 kPa 6.3 Both groups had a decrease heart rate induction, but this failed reach either clinical or statistical significance, no patient required atropine. Similarly, there arterial pressure 0.05), not deemed be clinically significant. Only patients each ephedrine 6 before restored within 25% base-line. Intubating conditions were similar groups, provided significantly shorter time.
