Summary
Elderly patients show different pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic variables and usually
need smaller doses of anaesthetic drugs than younger patients. The purpose of this study was
to investigate the optimal effect-site concentration of remifentanil for preventing cough
during emergence in elderly patients under sevoflurane and remifentanil anesthesia.
