Anesthesiologists face greater challenges when administering anesthesia to children during daytime surgeries. It requires careful selection of medications and their optimal combination to ensure effective anesthesia and prompt recovery of the child.Adenotonsillectomy is the most common daytime surgery for children. Anesthesiologists typically use tracheal intubation to ensure the safety of the airway during the procedure. Neuromuscular blockers (NMBs) are commonly used to facilitate smooth intubation. In certain elective surgeries, anesthesiologists may try to perform intubation using propofol and opioids without NMBs. However, this approach can pose challenges in achieving optimal intubation conditionsCiprofol is a novel general anesthetic that exhibits rapid onset and recovery times comparable to propofol. It also has low incidences of injection pain and respiratory depression
