A Study of the Effect of Varying Time Intervals between Fentanyl and Propofol on Propofol Requirement for Induction of General Anesthesia: A Randomized Prospective Controlled Study

Key Points

• The aim is to investigate how varying time intervals between fentanyl and propofol affect the dose of propofol needed for general anesthesia induction.
• Randomized controlled study design
• Administration of propofol 5 minutes after fentanyl
• Assessment of induction dose requirements
• Evaluation of haemodynamic parameters during induction and intubation
• Significant reduction in propofol induction dose when given after fentanyl
• Improved haemodynamic stability observed during induction and intubation
