Regional anaesthesia for outpatients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The aim of this paper was to determine if there were any significant differences between the effects of fentanyl delivered as a bolus or remifentanil delivered as a continuous infusion on the QT interval and QT dispersion (QTD) during the induction of anesthesia and tracheal intubation. METHODS:This was a p...
