Do different fentanyl infusion regimens affect plasma concentrations and hemodynamic responses in patients undergoing aortocoronary bypass surgery?
A fentanyl loading dose of 50 mcg/kg followed by a 0.5 mcg/kg/min infusion achieves stable plasma concentrations of 15 ng/ml, which helps minimize hemodynamic responses during aortocoronary bypass surgery.
Sprigge et al. (1982) studied this question.
