    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Alfentanil is an ultra-short-acting opioid analgesic.
    • Methohexitone and Althesin are commonly used anesthetic agents.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate alfentanil as an anesthetic supplement.
    • To compare recovery profiles with methohexitone versus Althesin.

    Main Methods:

    • Forty patients received alfentanil (8 µg/kg) with either methohexitone or Althesin.
    • Anesthesia quality, recovery, and psychomotor function were assessed.

    Main Results:

    • All patients experienced satisfactory anesthesia and recovery.
    • Rapid psychomotor recovery was observed in all participants.
    • No significant differences were noted between the anesthetic groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Alfentanil is an effective supplement for methohexitone and Althesin anesthesia.
    • The choice between methohexitone and Althesin does not impact recovery with alfentanil supplementation.
