Fluoroquinolones and arthropathy in children.

May • mai 2008; 10 (3) CJEM • JCMU 197 role of alfentanil with or without propofol in patients undergoing PSA and found no difference in the propofol dose, time of procedure, changes from baseline end-tidal CO2 or hypoxia. However, there were more supportive airway measures required in the patients who received alfentanil (34.1% alfentanil/propofol v. 12.8% propofol alone, p = 0.02). Clearly this area requires further study, not only to determine which opioid analgesic is the optimal agent, but also whether routine analgesia is necessary at all in the setting of PSA performed with propofol.
