Summary
Several methods have been proposed to improve intubating conditions and minimize sevoflurane
induction time during sevoflurane induction in children. These include clonidine
premedication, [5] addition of nitrous oxide, [6] opioids, [7,8] or propofol [9].
Four Studies evaluated sevoflurane alone for intubation (9-12).Aim of this study: is to
evaluate the effects of two different dose of propofol preceded by a fixed dose of fentanyl
during sevoflurane induction on quality of tracheal intubation in children undergoing
elective surgery.
