To compare the effects of anesthesia maintenance drugs (inhaled sevoflurane versus intravenous propofol) used in general anesthesia on the absorption of glycine 1.5% solution during hysteroscopy. ⋯ The results of the present study show that the use of inhaled sevoflurane is associated with significantly increased glycine 1.5% absorption compared to intravenous propofol for the maintenance of anesthesia. However, further randomized controlled trials are needed to assess the possible mechanisms and risk factors involved in the higher absorption induced by sevoflurane.
