With the intention to overcome such deicien-cy, some techniques have been developed lately, orotracheal intubation without the use of muscle relaxant: propofol or etomidate in combination with remifentanil*which implies the conjugation of inhaled anes-thetic agents, inductive medicines and opiaceous drugs, applied in different ways without the use of the neuromuscle relaxant.1 Tyopental and pro-pofol have been the most studied agents and this last has shown to have more mandibular relaxing capacity and laryngeal relaxing attenuation.4-11Available literature suggests that the remifen-tanil is the most adequate opiaceous drugs to accompany the inductor, this due to its special pharmacokinetic characteristics and its excellent power.7,9-11Other inducting agents that could offer addi-tional advantages in respect to the considerable hyper tensor and cardio-depressor effect of the propofol, have hardly been investigated.7 among them, the etomidate shows to be a reasonable alternative due to its minimal effects on cardio-vascular functions.
