Influência da clonidina por via venosa no custo de anestesia com sevoflurano em cirurgias de ouvido médio em regime ambulatorial

Abstract

Intravenous clonidine (3 microg kg(-1)) decreases sevoflurane consumption without prolonging phase I recovery. Although decreasing sevoflurane consumption, 5 microg kg(-1) clonidine prolongs phase II recovery, thus being inadequate for outpatient procedures.
