Comparative Study
Comparison of pregnancy rates following gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) under general anesthesia with thiopental sodium or propofol.
To determine whether the pregnancy rate for gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) patients who received thiopental sodium was different from the pregnancy rate for patients who received propofol for the induction of general anesthesia. ⋯ The pregnancy rate following GIFT for patients given propofol for induction of general anesthesia did not differ from that for patients given thiopental.
