randomized, comparative study of propofol infusion and sevoflurane as the sole maintenance agent in laparoscopic surgery

ABSTRACT

Background and objective: Laparoscopic techniques have rapidly increased in popularity because of associated benefits. Although the most commonly performed surgery still remains laparoscopic cholecystectomy, many other surgical procedures have been included in the list. Our aim of this study was to compare the hemodynamic changes and emergence characteristics during maintenance of anesthesia either with sevoflurane or propofol infusion in laparoscopic surgeries
