Key result
Remifentanil can be used with propofol or inhalation agents to achieve hemodynamic stability during cardiovascular surgery and facilitates early extubation in fast-track cardiac anesthesia.
Remifentanil is a highly titratable, ultra-short-acting opioid that facilitates fast-track cardiac anesthesia but necessitates concurrent administration of longer-acting analgesics for postoperative pain.
