Comparison study of propofol infusion as a sole anaesthetic virsus other anaesthetic techniques in children

Poropofol has been shown to have a superior recovery compared with thiopentone and halothane anaesthesia in both adult and children undergoing a brief surgical procedures. Fourty patients had been included in this study and these patients are allocated in 4 groups each of 10 patients. The first group [Gp 1] was anaesthetized by using propofol in induction and maintenance of anaesthesia, the second group [Gp 2] was anaesthetized by using propofol in induction and maintained by halothane, the third group [Gp 3] was anaesthetized by using thiopentone in induction and maintained by halothane and the fourth group [Gp 4] was anatsthetized by using halothane in induction and maintenance. The results of this study shown that the quality of induction in Gp 1 was 5 good, 3 adequate and 1 poor, in Gp 2 was 5 good, 4 adequate and 1 poor. In Gp 3 was 7 good, 2 adequate and 1 poor.In Gp 4 was 7 good and 3 adequate.The intraoperative problems were in Gp 1 one case developed arrythmia and one case in Gp 3, one case developed apnea in Gp 1 also one case developed cough in Gp 1. The recovery postoperative shown that, the mean +/- SD of Steward score in Gp 1 was 12.4 +/- 1.71minutes, in Gp 2 was 21.3 +/- 1.16 minutes, In Gp 3 was 21.5 +/- 1.08 minutes and in Gp 4 was 21.4 +/- 0.84 minutes. The mean +/- SD of open eyes on commoned in Gp 1 was 14 +/- 1.63mirwtes, in Gp 2 was 22.5. +/- 1.27 minutes, In Gp 3 was 22.7 +/- 1.06 minutes and in Gp 4 was 29.6 +/- 0.97 minutes. The mean +/- SD of orientation in Gp I was 15.6 +/- 1.78 minutes, in Gp 2 was 24 +/- 1.05 minutes. In Gp 3 was 24.2 +/- 1.91 minutes and Gp 4 was 24.1 +/- 0.88 minutes
