title: Midazolam and remifentanil by bolus injection for intensely stimulating procedures of brief duration: experience with awake laryngoscopy.
abstract: The pharmacokinetic characteristics of midazolam and remifentanil administered by bolus injection may make them advantageous for providing brief, intense analgesia without prolonged respiratory depression. This application is particularly useful for awake, direct laryngoscopy.
