Effects of Remifentanil, a New Short-acting Opioid, on Cerebral Blood Flow, Brain Electrical Activity, and Intracranial Pressure in Dogs Anesthetized with Isoflurane and Nitrous Oxide

Abstract

These results show that the cardiovascular and cerebral effects of remifentanil and alfentanil are similar but that recovery of these parameters occurs sooner following remifentanil.
