Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A predetermined bolus dose of alfentanil was injected over 30 seconds, followed by propofol 2.5 mg/kg over 10 seconds. The bolus dose of alfentanil was determined by a modified Dixon’s up-and-down method, starting from 10 microg/kg (2microg/kg as a step size). Laryngeal mask insertion was attempted 90 seconds after the end of alfentanil injection and the response of patients was classified as either ‘success’ or ‘failure’.
