Different remifentanil doses in rapid sequence anesthesia induction: BIS monitoring and intubation conditions.

1 µg/kg of remifentanil compared to 0.5 µg/kg of remifentanil provides similar hemodynamic profiles and BIS scores, but 1 µg/kg of remifentanil was associated with superior endotracheal intubation conditions. According to this study design and medications used, a relation between BIS scores and intubation conditions couldn't be demonstrated.
