Using fentanyl and propofol for tracheal intubation during sevoflurane induction without muscle relaxants in children: A randomized prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Tracheal intubation is frequently facilitated with sevoflurane induction without the use of muscle relaxants in children.

Aim

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two different doses of propofol preceded by a fixed dose of fentanyl during sevoflurane induction on quality of tracheal intubation in children.

Settings and design

This was a prospective randomized study.

Subjects and methods

Ninety American Society of Anesthesiologists I-II children aged 2-6 years were randomly assigned to one of two equal groups to receive 2 μg/kg of fentanyl with 2 mg/kg of propofol (Group I) or 2 μg/kg of fentanyl with 3 mg/kg of propofol (Group II) during sevoflurane induction. The intubating conditions and hemodynamic responses were evaluated. The time fr
