Summary
Elderly patients show different pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic variables and usually
need smaller doses of anesthetic drugs than younger patients. The purpose of this study was
to investigate the optimal effect-site concentration of remifentanil for preventing injection
pain during propofol induction in elderly patients by the Dixon's up-and-down method.
