About this trial
The aim of this study was to compare the effect-site target concentration (including EC₅₀ and EC₉₀) of remifentanil required to suppress cardiovascular responses to tracheal intubation during anesthesia induction with etomidate combined with either lidocaine or sufentanil.

Treatments tested in this trial
Intravenous normal saline (NS 0.9)
DrugUnder target-controlled infusion (TCI) of remifentanil, anesthesia induction is performed using placebo (normal saline) combined with etomidate (0.3 mg/kg).
intravenous sufentanil
DrugUnder target-controlled infusion (TCI) of remifentanil, anesthesia induction is performed using sufentanil (0.2μg/kg) combined with etomidate (0.3 mg/kg).
Intravenous lidocaine
DrugUnder target-controlled infusion (TCI) of remifentanil, anesthesia induction is performed using lidocaine (1.5 mg/kg) combined with etomidate (0.3 mg/kg).
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
The 50% effective effect-site target concentration (EC₅₀) of remifentanil for suppressing patients' tracheal intubation response
Secondary outcomes
The 90% effective effect-site target concentration (EC₉₀) of remifentanil for suppressing patients' tracheal intubation response
complications
including excessive hemodynamic fluctuations, hypoxemia, coughing during induction, etomidate-induced myoclonus, opioid-related chest wall rigidity, and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).
