Evaluation of Intubating Conditions with Varying Doses of Propofol without Muscle Relaxants.
Since 1988 anaesthesiologist have proved that induction dose of propofol is sufficient to intubate patient without muscle relaxants. Propofol is unique in having property to suppress airway reflexes better than any other agent. Therefore study was undertaken to evaluate clinically acceptable intubating conditions with different doses of propofol without muscle relaxants. ⋯ Ideal intubating conditions without muscle relaxants can be achieved with propofol 3 mg kg(-1) with fentanyl 2 μg kg(-1) and lignocaine 1.5 mg kg(-1) without significant hemodynamic changes.

Comparison of propofol based anaesthesia to conventional inhalational general anaesthesia for spine surgery.
Often conventional Inhalational agents are used for maintenance of anaesthesia in spine surgery. This study was undertaken to compare propofol with isoflurane anaesthesia with regard to haemodynamic stability, early emergence, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and early assessment of neurological functions. PATIENTS #ENTITYSTARTX00026; ⋯ Haemodynamic stability was comparable in both the groups. There was no significant difference in the recovery time between intravenous and inhalational group. Patients in propofol group were clear headed at awakening and were better oriented to place than inhalational group.
