Background: The present study was undertaken to highlight the benefits of avoiding suxamethonium, using only the opioid-propofol technique for routine intubation in paediatric age groups. Objective: the advent of shorteracting opioid drugs, intubating the trachea has been particularly successful when these drugs are used in combination with propofol. Propofol has been reported to possess some characteristics that provide adequate conditions for intubation in combination with fentanyl 1,2 or alfentanil 3,4 or remifentanil 5.6.
