Popis: We have assessed tracheal intubating conditions in 60 ASA I or II patients after induction of anaesthesia with propofol 2.5 mg kg-1 and alfentanil 10 or 20 micrograms kg-1 with or without i.v. lignocaine 1 mg kg-1. No neuromuscular blocking agents were administered. Patients were allocated randomly to four groups: group 1 = propofol-alfentanil 10 micrograms kg-1; group 2 = propofol-alfentanil 10 micrograms kg-1-lignocaine 1 mg kg-1; group 3 = propofol-alfentanil 20 micrograms kg-1; group 4 = propofol-alfentanil 20 micrograms kg-1-lignocaine 1 mg kg-1. Intubating conditions were assessed as acceptable or unacceptable on the basis of a scoring system dependent on ease of laryngoscopy, vocal cord position and coughing on insertion of the tracheal tube. Intubating conditions were acceptable in 20%, 73%, 73% and 93% of patients in groups 1-4, respectively. Intubating conditions were better and there was less coughing in the lignocaine group.
