[Hospital day-surgery: comparative evaluation of 3 general anesthesia techniques]. / Day hospital chirurgico: valutazione comparativa di tre tecniche di anestesia generale.

For the voluntary interruption of pregnancy, three anaesthetic techniques have been compared being a random assigned to three groups of 40 patients. Induction of anaesthesia was based on fentanyl 0.005 mg/kg+midazolam 0.2 mg/kg or fentanyl 0.005 mg/kg = propofol 2.5 mg/kg or ketamina 0.5 mg/kg+propofol 2.0 mg/kg. Anaesthesia was maintained delivering in spontaneous-assisted ventilation N2O 70% in O2. In addition to the intraoperative conditions, quality and rapidity of some neurofunctional aspects of the recovery have been evaluated using the Steward Score and the Coin Counting Test respectively. Our data suggest fentanyl-propofol association as the safest one as regards the needs of one-day surgery.
