    BackgroundThis study aimed at comparing total i.v. anaesthesia (TIVA) with monitored anaesthesia care (MAC) during day-surgery operative hysteroscopy regarding: operation time, time to mobilization and discharge, and patient satisfaction.MethodsNinety-one healthy women were randomized to MAC with paracervical local anaesthesia and remifentanil or to TIVA with propofol and remifentanil. Time from arrival to leaving the operating theatre, time from arrival in the recovery room to mobilization and discharge readiness, and patient satisfaction with MAC and TIVA were observed.ResultsTime from arrival to leaving the operating theatre showed no significant difference between groups (P=0.6). The time to mobilization {MAC: 53 min [inter-quartile range (IQR) 40-83], TIVA: 69 min (IQR 52-96) (P=0.017)} and the total time from arrival to discharge readiness [MAC: 118 min (IQR 95-139), TIVA: 138 (IQR 120-158) (P=0.0009)] were significantly reduced for patients in the MAC group. More patients in the MAC group 45 (91.8%) than in the TIVA group 24 (64.9%) responded positively to the question: would you like to receive the same kind of anaesthesia for a similar procedure in the future? (P=0.003).ConclusionsParacervical local anaesthesia combined with remifentanil is suitable for operative hysteroscopy in day surgery.
