“…The propofol group had a greater incidence of pleasant dreams than did the thiopentone group. A second study [18] found only four patients reporting vivid dreams out of 61 given propofol or propofol and alfentanil and found that only four out of 65 patients given thiopentone/ enflurane reported vivid dreams.…”

“…We found that patients who received propofol were less dizzy and sick than thiopentone controls which may contribute to their improved mood. Millar & Jewkes [18] reported a greater feeling of well-being at discharge after propofol than after thiopentone. Consistent with our results, two studies found no nausea or vomiting occurring after surgery with propofol and significantly less nausea and vomiting in a propofol group than in a thiopentone group [18,33].…”

Dreams, images and emotions associated with propofol anaesthesia

SummaryOne hundred and twelve patients scheduled for day case varicose vein surgery were randomly allocated to one of three groups: total intravenous anaesthesia with propofol, propofol induction followed by inhalational anaesthesia with nitrous oxide and isoflurane or thiopentone induction followed by inhalational anaesthesia with nitrous oxide and isoflurane. Assessments were made in the recovery room of the incidence of dreaming, the content of the dreams and the emotional status of the patients. The groups differed significantly in reporting that they had been dreaming: patients who underwent total intravenous anaesthesia reported the most dreaming and patients who received thiopentone the least. However, despite the large number of case reports of sexual imagery following propofol anaesthesia and despite the two groups who had received propofol experiencing significantly greater happiness upon recovery than the thiopentone group, there were no appreciable differences in the sexual content of the dreams. Each group had only a small number of dreams even remotely related to sex.

“…In this respect, sevoflurane differs from other potent inhalation anaesthetics such as halothane, enflurane and isoflurane. In comparable studies with enflurane [5,6] or isoflurane [7,8], propofol was the agent with the shortest recovery from anaesthesia. The variation in recovery times between propofol and isoflurane has been attributed in part to the duration of anaesthesia [9].…”

The aim of the study was to compare recovery characteristics in adult patients following general anaesthesia either with the new investigational volatile agent sevoflurane or with propofol. Accordingly, two groups of 25 adults undergoing outpatient surgery were entered into a prospective, randomised study. Patients who received sevoflurane were extubated at an earlier stage than those receiving propofol (6.6 vs. 9.8 min), and the times to eye opening (7.2 vs. 12.6 min) and hand squeezing (8.2 vs 13.8 min) were also shorter. As measured by the digit-symbol substitution test, patients regained the pre-operative level of cognitive function significantly earlier after sevoflurane anaesthesia. Modified Aldrete scores were also higher in this group within the first hour after anaesthesia than in the propofol group. Sevoflurane appears to be a useful alternative to propofol in outpatient anaesthesia.

“…Propofol is an anaesthetic surgery were studied. Ethical approval was granted agent that has many advantages, especially for use in by the Army Medical Services Ethics Committee and day-case surgery [1], it also has a pharmacokinetic patients gave informed consent to be included in the profile that makes it ideal for total i.v. anaesthesia.…”
