Background It is unclear if anaesthesia maintenance with propofol is advantageous or
beneficial over inhalational agents. This study is intended to compare the effects of propofol …

IMPLICATIONS: A systematic analysis of the literature comparing postoperative recovery
after propofol, isoflurane, desflurane, and sevoflurane-based anesthesia in adults …

A variety of methods have been used to quantify aspects of recovery after anesthesia. Most
are narrowly focused, are not patient-rated, and have not been validated. We therefore set …

Background Bispectral Index (BIS) has been used to measure sedation depth. Ideally, to
guide anesthetic management, range of BIS scores at different sedation levels should not …

BACKGROUND: Limited evidence suggests that children have a lower incidence of
perioperative respiratory adverse events when intravenous propofol is used compared with …

We performed this meta-analysis to compare the characteristics of sevoflurane and propofol
for the induction of routine anesthesia and for laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion. The …

Background: Sevoflurane, with its low pungency and low blood and tissue solubility, is an
attractive anaesthetic in paediatric outpatient surgery. Propofol‐anaesthesia is recognised …

Clinical pharmacists rarely are involved in the selection and dosing of anesthetic agents.
However, when practicing evidence‐based medicine in a cost‐conscious health care …

Background Office-based surgery is becoming increasingly popular because of its cost-
saving potential Both propofol and sevoflurane are commonly used in the ambulatory setting …

BACKGROUND: Many studies have compared propofol-based anesthesia with inhalational
anesthesia. Results from several studies have shown improved postoperative analgesia …
