Trade-offs in airway stability vs. hemodynamic safety: a retrospective study of alfentanil-sevoflurane-propofol anesthesia for tracheal intubation
While the propofol-sevoflurane-alfentanil combination improved airway conditions, it caused universal hypotension and frequent bradycardia. Fixed-dose alfentanil (10 µg/kg) without titration may be unsafe in spontaneous breathing protocols due to respiratory depression.
