Randomized Controlled TrialA Comparison of Different Remifentanil Effect-Site Concentrations to Allow for Early Extubation After Cardiac Surgery.
Assess different remifentanil effect-site concentrations (Ce) for readiness for extubation time after cardiac surgery. ⋯ Remifentanil Ce 1, 2, and 3 ng/mL produced comparative effects on time to extubation and hemodynamic responses to cardiac surgery. The 3 Ce resulted in immediate on-table extubation in 50% of patients.
