Sufentanil Cough Prevention

Clinical caseAnesthesiology2 min

An adult ASA II patient with normal airway anatomy and body mass index within 16–26 kg/m² is scheduled for general anesthesia with tracheal intubation. You plan induction with sufentanil 0.4 µg/kg at 5 µg/mL and want to reduce sufentanil-induced coughing.

What does the evidence in this abstract support for minimizing sufentanil-induced cough in this setting?
