Remifentanil target-controlled infusion for fiberoptic bronchoscopy in the ICU: feasability, safety and tolerance evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Remifentanil target-controlled infusion (TCI), widely used in the operating room owing to its reliability, is poorly assessed in the ICU, while several procedures may induce pain and discomfort. Only one series of 14 patients focused on Remifentanil-TCI use for performing fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FB) in the ICU [1]. We aimed to assess Remifentanil-TCI feasibility, safety and tolerance during FB performed in consecutive non-intubated ICU patients.

BACKGROUND Even with an adequate pain assessment, critically ill patients under sedation experience pain during procedures in the intensive care unit (ICU). We evaluated the effects of adjunctive administration of Remifentanil, a short-acting drug, in deeply sedated patient on variation of Bispectral Index (BIS) during a fiberoptic bronchoscopy. METHODS A prospective, randomized, blinded, pla...

We have had this study to evaluate the clinical profile of target-controlled infusion-based anesthesia using remifentanil and propofol. 116 ASA I-II patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCH) were enrolled. TCI Remifentanil was set at 8 micrograms. L - 1 as target and TCI propofol at 4 mcg/ml throughout the whole procedure. The hemodynamics during induction of anesthesia an...

Anesthetic management of patients with mediastinal masses remains challenging as acute cardiorespiratory decompensation may follow induction of anesthesia. We describe a 57 year old lady with massive retrosternal goiter and severe intrathoracic tracheal compression who had a total thyroidectomy. Comprehensive contingency plans were an essential prerequisite for successful management of difficul...
متن کاملGlideScope videolaryngoscope versus flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope for awake intubation of morbidly obese patient with predicted difficult intubation.
BACKGROUND Awake fiberoptic intubation is the gold standard for management of predicted difficult intubation. The purpose of this study was to test whether Glide Scope video laryngoscopy (GVL) will provide significant advantages over fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) for awake intubation in morbidly obese patients with predicted difficult intubation. We therefore tested the hypothesis that intubati...
