Summary
Total intravenous anaesthesia using propofol and remifentanil are routinely used drugs for
this purpose. The hemodynamic stability and at the same time early emergency are the main
goals following neurosurgery. However there is no standard for discontinuation time for
manually controlled systems today.
The investigators aimed to study the effect of remifentanil infusion alone for early
emergence and hemodynamic stability during the closure period in patients undergoing
supratentorial craniotomy.
