Summary

This study was designed to determine the optimal dose of remifentanil that can prevent the complications associated with the removal of LMA without delaying emergence.

Clinical Details

Official title: Optimal Effect-site Concentration of Remifentanil for Inhibiting Response to Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) Removal During Emergence From Sevoflurane-remifentanil Anesthesia

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Single Blind (Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Prevention

Primary outcome: Number of Patients With Adverse Events Following LMA Removal

Detailed description: Patients were randomly assigned to one of four groups. All patients received a predetermined effect-site concentrations (Ce) of remifentanil by target-controlled infusion (TCI) according to their group assignments (R0, remifentanil Ce of 0 ng/ml; R0. 5, remifentanil Ce of 0. 5 ng/ml; R1. 0, remifentanil Ce of 1. 0 ng/ml; R1. 5, remifentanil Ce of 1. 5 ng/ml) from 10 minutes before the end of surgery to LMA removal. Airway complications (airway obstruction, desaturation, breath holding, and coughing), nausea, and vomiting were assessed during the emergence phase.

Eligibility
