The effect of ephedrine on intubating conditions and haemodynamics during rapid tracheal intubation using propofol and rocuronium

Ephedrine either 75 or 100 µg kg−1 given before rapid tracheal intubation using propofol and rocuronium bromide improves the intubation conditions. It is not effective in preventing the hypotension which follows ensuing induction of anaesthesia.
