[Radenarcon/fentanyl short anesthesias in small gynecologic interventions]

An etomidate/fentanyl anesthesia was administered in 112 minor gynecological operations. The endexpiratory percentage CO2-concentration and the expiratory percentage O2-concentration were determined under anesthesia by means of adequate dosage of anesthetics in two groups (group I: 16 women aged between 16 and 54; group II: 10 women aged between 60 and 75). The results reveal that the respiratory depression remains within acceptable limits in both groups. The blood gas values obtained capillarily before and after the operation show a normalisation of these parameters when the patients are transferred to the ward. On account of the minimal side-effects and the short waking-up time this method of anesthesia can be recommended as most favourable short anesthesia at present especially in concomitant cardiac disorders.
