Periodic cardiovascular and ventilatory activity during midazolam sedation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:General anaesthesia is a balance between hypnosis and analgesia. We investigated whether an increase in remifentanil blood concentration would reduce the amount of propofol required to maintain a comparable level of anaesthesia in 60 patients undergoing ambulatory surgery. METHODS:Patients were allocated ra...
