The Influence of Method of Administration and Covariates on the Pharmacokinetics of Propofol in Adult Volunteers

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that method of administration (bolus vs. infusion), but not EDTA, influences the pharmacokinetics of propofol, and within the clinically relevant range, the kinetics of Propofol during infusions are linear regarding infusion rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Influence of Age on Propofol Pharmacodynamics

TL;DR: Semilinear canonical correlation defined a new measure of prop ofol effect on the EEG, the canonical univariate parameter for propofol, which is faster than previously reported and indicates Elderly patients are more sensitive to the hypnotic and EEG effects of propofl than are younger persons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Remifentanil: II. Model Application

TL;DR: Age and LBM are significant demographic factors that must be considered when determining a dosage regimen for remifentanil, and simulations suggest that the time required for a decrease in effect site concentrations will be more variable in the elderly.
Journal ArticleDOI

The pharmacokinetics of the new short-acting opioid remifentanil (GI87084B) in healthy adult male volunteers.

TL;DR: The computer simulation revealed the strikingly unique pharmacokinetic profile of remifentanil compared to that of the currently available fentanyl family of opioids.
