Propofol: A Synergistic Induction Medication

Fentanyl is synergistic with the other induction medications that we give and many people use fentanyl. Most people are going to get one to two mics micrograms per kilogram so you can imagine an 80 kilogram patient might get somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 to 150 micrograms again someone who is 200 kilograms is not going to get 400 micrograms of fentanyl just because they weigh 200 kilograms. propofol should be dosed based on lean body weight but for maintenance of anesthesia if you're running a propofol drip it should be based onLean Body Weight which takes into account height gender and weight.
