Midazolam/fentanyl vs. propofol/remifentanil in immediate postoperative with short-term mechanical ventilation.

Objectives: To compare between 2 sedoanalgesia regimes, the time from withdrawal of the medication until the patient wakes up and until extubation.

Methodology: Observational study on pediatric patients after elective surgery that needed mechanical ventilation for a period maximum to 72 h. We compared two independent groups of patients: group A: patients collected prospectively who received sedoanalgesia with propofof-remifentanil and group B: patients who received midazolam-fentanyl collected retrospectively by reviewing medical records and database of the unit.
