Changes in intragastric pressure on induction of anaesthesia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The objective of this study was to develop a pharmacokinetic (PK) model to characterize the influence of obesity on propofol PK parameters. METHODS:Nineteen obese ASA II patients undergoing bariatric surgery were studied. Patients received propofol 2 mg kg(-1) bolus dose followed by a 5-20-40-120 min, 10-8-...
