Systolic Blood Pressure VariationPrimary· Baseline before fentanyl administration, pre-intubation after propofol and bispectral index<60 and postintubation 15 seconds after endotracheal tube positioned
Non-invasive systolic blood pressure change (%) at baseline, pre-intubation and postintubation. Positive results mean percentage reduction in SBP between the studied moments. Negative results mean percentage increase in SBP between the studied moments.

Time to HypnosisSecondary· After administration of propofol, time is measured in seconds until BIS values are less than 60
Bispectral index (BIS)\<60 meaning "general anesthesia", BIS\>60 meaning mild/moderate sedation. We measure the time until patient reachs hypnosis

Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov
Time frame: Baseline until 60 seconds after endotracheal tube positioned.
Reporting threshold: 1%.
Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.
Objective: Determine if, by reducing the dose of propofol and increasing the time elapsed between fentanyl and propofol administration, hemodynamic response is improved.
Methods: Patients were randomized into time groups (2 and 1 minute) and each subdivided into dose groups (1, 1.5 and 2 mg kg-1) obtaining six time-dose groups. After receiving 2 μg kg-1 of fentanyl, propofol was administered after the predetermined time. Time to hypnosis (BIS\<60) and hemodynamic parameters at pre-induction, pre-intubation and postintubation were registered.
