Open Access Introduction Remifentanil is an opioid with a unique pharmacokinetic profile. Its organ-independent elimination and short context-sensitive half time of 3 to 4 minutes lead to a highly predictable offset of action. We tested the hypothesis that with an analgesia-based sedation regimen with remifentanil and propofol patients after cardiac surgery reach predefined criteria for discharge from the intensive care unit ICU sooner resulting in shorter duration of time spent in the ICU compared to a conventional regimen consisting of midazolam and fentanyl. In addition the two regimens were compared regarding their costs. Methods In this prospective open-label randomised singlecentre study a total of 80 patients 18 to 75 years old who had undergone cardiac surgery were postoperatively assigned to one of two treatment regimens for sedation in the ICU for 12 to 72 hours. Patients in the remifentanil propofol group received remifentanil 6- max. 60 pg .
