Neuromuscular blocking drugs vs remifentanil for intubation.

The use of remifentanil (2-4 mcg/kg) makes little to no difference in terms of producing excellent tracheal intubation conditions.

Anyone changing their practice after reading this paper?

Great #OBAnes ProCon Debate by @ValZaph & Dr A Lavoie on IV PCA - remi versus fentanyl. Moderation by @Ron_George
for me local resources & context matters #fentanylwins @cas_update #CASAM2024

[Dr.Dolores M McKeen 🇨🇦 @Dolores_McKeen]

Great discussion just concluded on I-AIM & #POCUS in anesthesia .. lots of evidence for benefit & clinical pearls on gastric, cardiac & spine imaging. Consider settings & use frequently to support image acquisition & comfort doing #casam2024 @AnaSjaus @antonchau1 @CAS_OBSection

Great job all!!
bringing evidence & entertainment to #CASAM2024 #OBAnes pro/con debate. great points but I still endorse IV PCA fentanyl! @ValZaph @antonchau1 @Ron_George @Ropivacaine @hilarykatem @ammunro2 @CAS_OBSection

[Valerie Zaphiratos @ValZaph]

@girardDev @antonchau1 @Ron_George @CASUpdate Anne Lavoie had more hands for Remi PCA, but I had more converts/crossovers to Fentanyl PCA! I would say it was equivocal. 😉
