Trial Outcomes & Findings for Optimal Effect-site Concentration of Remifentanil for Inhibiting Response to Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) Removal (NCT NCT01915108)

NCT ID: NCT01915108

Last Updated: 2014-08-25

Results Overview

All patients received a predetermined Ce of remifentanil by TCI according to their group assignments from 10 minutes before the end of surgery to LMA removal. Adverse events such as coughing, airway obstruction, breath-holding, desaturation, nausea and vomiting were evaluated from the end of surgery until arrival in the post-anesthetic care unit.
