Summary
Fentanyl is expected to suppress tracheal tube-induced cough during emergence from general
anaesthesia through binding to its receptors in the brainstem. However, it has not been
proven if fentanyl has a complication-free, dose-dependent effect on cough suppression during
emergence from sevoflurane anaesthesia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the
relationship between fentanyl doses and cough suppression during emergence from sevoflurane
anaesthesia.
