[Evaluation of recovery from althesin using psychometric tests]

37 patients have been submitted to psychometric tests following Althesin anaesthesia in order to evaluate their "aptitude for the road" and the moment in which they can be discharged without danger. Using Althesin as sole agent, this is possible after about 3 hours. It is therefore considered that Althesin is suitable for all those orthopaedic manoeuvres which allow the patient to be discharged quickly.
