Study summary

The investigator designed this study to investigate remifentanil effect-site concentration in 95% of patients (EC95) for preventing cough after laryngomicrosurgery from propofol anesthesia.

Read the detailed description

At the end of the surgery, propofol infusion was stopped and remifentanil was titrated to predetermined (initial concentration 1.0 ng/ml for the first patient). Extubation was performed when the patients opened their eyes and spontaneous respiration and adequate tidal volume and ventilatory frequency were confirmed.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Remifentanil

    Extubation was performed when remifentanil was maintained a predetermined concentration throughout the emergence periods.

    Drug: Remifentanil · Drug: Propofol anesthesia

Interventions

  • DrugRemifentanil

    The concentration of remifentanil was determined by biased-coin up and down design, starting from 1.0 ng/ml (0.4 ng/ml as a step size)

    Also known as: Ultiva

  • DrugPropofol anesthesia

    Anesthesia was induced with propofol target-controlled infusion at an effect-site concentration of 5.0 μg/ml.

    Also known as: Fresofol
