Intubating Conditions During Propofol-remifentanil Anesthesia With Topical Lidocaine

Summary

When not using neuromuscular blocking agent, even at optimal dosage, target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol and remifentanil occasionally produce unsatisfactory intubating conditions. Therefore, the investigators evaluated that the effect of tracheal lidocaine on the intubating conditions for tracheal intubation during anesthesia induction of propofol and remifentanil TCI without neuromuscular blocking agent in day-case anesthesia.
