Brief Summary  

With the very recent introduction of remifentanil into the Indian drug armamentarium, interest to utilise the drug in anesthesia practices for various surgeries including craniotomies has gained interest. This offered an opportunity to study the efficacy of remifentanil infusion versus fentanyl boluses as part of a TIVA regimen for patients posted for craniotomy.

We therefore want to test the hypotheses that  remifentanil- propofol TIVA provides better extubating conditions and smooth emergence in craniotomy patients providing an optimum intraoperative haemodynamic control.
