Objective To compare the effects of small-dose sufentanil and fentanyl on cardiovascular responses to laryngoscopic orotracheal intubation in children.
Remifentanil in anesthesia care of infant patients gives better palinesthesia in time terms and higher safety under the same conditions after operation.
The potent and rapid-acting opiates (fentanyl, sufentanil, alfentanil) can be used as the sole induction agents in cardiovascular surgery where hemodynamic stability is critical.
