Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective is to determine whether, during a rapid sequence intubation by etomidate, and succinylcholine Sellick maneuver, the administration of remifentanil at 2 different dosages (0.5 and 1.0 microgram per kg body weight), reduces potentially dangerous reactional tachycardia.
