Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To compare the effects of propofol with traditional thiopental anesthesia for oral-maxillofacial surgery in terms of vital sign changes and awakening time.METHODS: Thirty cases undergoing maxillectomy were randomly divided into two groups(propofol and thiopental) in order to compare vital sign changes before and after administration of anesthetics (propofol and thiopental). RESULTS: The pharmacological circulatory disturbance of propofol was less important than thiopental and the incidence of apnea was significantly higher than thiopental (P<0.01).The awakening time of propofol was significantly shorter than thiopental (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: With rapid awakening time of propofol was significantly a safe anesthetic agent in oral-maxillofacial surgery,especially for long time operation.
