TL;DR: Compared to baseline, dexmedetomidine is not as effective an analgesic as the opioid remifentanil, and the difference in the quality of the analgesia with remifENTanil may be a reflection of a different mechanism of action or a consequence of the sedative effect of dexmedETomidine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pre-oxygenation in the obese patient: effects of position on tolerance to apnoea
TL;DR: Pre-oxygenation in sitting position significantly extends the tolerance to apnoea in obese patients when compared with the supine position.
Journal ArticleDOI
No clinical evidence of acute opioid tolerance after remifentanil‐based anaesthesia
TL;DR: The data do not support the development of acute opioid tolerance after remifentanil-based anaesthesia in this type of surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of obesity on propofol pharmacokinetics: derivation of a pharmacokinetic model
Luis I. Cortinez,Brian J. Anderson,A. Penna,L Olivares,Hernán Muñoz,Nicholas H. G. Holford,Michel Struys,P. Sepulveda +7 more
TL;DR: An allometric size model using total body weight (TBW) was superior to all other models investigated and superior to other size descriptors to characterize propofol PK in obese patients over a wide range of body weights.
Journal ArticleDOI
A General Purpose Pharmacokinetic Model for Propofol
TL;DR: A single propofol PK model is developed that performed well for a wide range of patient groups and clinical conditions and is suitable for prospective evaluation.
