Abstract:
Having illustrated the importance of extending surgical treatment into day hospital situations, the paper underlines the need for anesthetics with short-term effects. Two groups of 30 patients were included in the study and underwent anesthesia in day hospital using Propofol or Tiopentone-Enflurane. The results reveal comparable respiratory and hemodynamic effects for the two techniques, but Propofol is more reliable in terms of the lesser side-effects caused and above all the speed of the patient's psycho-physical recovery.
