Overview

Remifentanil + propofol is a combination sedation protocol consisting of the ultra-short-acting mu-opioid receptor agonist remifentanil and the sedative-hypnotic GABA-A receptor modulator propofol. This specific combination was investigated by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in a Phase 4 randomized controlled trial (NCT00667043) for the management of sedation in patients undergoing therapeutic hypothermia following cardiac arrest. The protocol aims to provide titratable sedation and analgesia with a rapid offset to facilitate neurological assessment and extubation. Clinical findings indicated that while the combination significantly reduced the time to awakening compared to a fentanyl/midazolam regimen, it was associated with an increased requirement for vasopressor support due to hemodynamic effects.
