Before the early 20th century, intubation of the trachea had been described for conditions
such as perioral tumours and laryngeal obstruction, and had been performed rather crudely …

Sevoflurane is an ether inhalation anaesthetic agent with low pungency, a non-irritant odour
and a low blood: gas partition coefficient. It can be rapidly and conveniently administered …

We studied tracheal intubating conditions in 120 healthy children, aged 3–12 years, in a
blinded, randomised clinical trial. Children were randomly allocated to one of three groups …

Clinical and economic factors that are important to consider when selecting anaesthesia for
day-case surgery can differ from those for inpatient anaesthesia. Patients undergoing day …

Background The aim of this study was to compare intubating conditions and adverse events
after sevoflurane induction in infants, with or without the use of rocuronium or alfentanil …

Better definition of end points required to achieve successful tracheal intubation after
induction with sevoflurane could improve patient care. The authors therefore designed a …

Background. We studied 120 children aged 2–7 yr in a prospective, randomized, assessor‐
blinded fashion to define the optimal rocuronium dose which provides a 95% probability of …

SummaryBackground and objective: This study was designed to assess the conditions for
endotracheal intubation or insertion of a laryngeal mask airway following an inhalational …

Abstract Background We studied 63 ASA I children (age 2–8 yr) to determine the sufentanil
dose needed to facilitate intubation under excellent conditions after inhalation induction with …

We have studied intubating conditions in 64 healthy children, aged 3-10 yr, undergoing
adenotonsillectomy, in a double-blind, randomized study. Intubation was performed 150 s …
