Seventy-seven patients presenting for outpatient cystoscopy participated in a trial to assess postoperative recovery when either a/fentanil, halothane, or enflurane were used in combination with nitrous oxide/oxygen anaesthesia. Anaesthesia was uneventful in all cases. Apnoea occurred once with a/fentanil, but naloxone was not required. Vomiting occurred once with a/fentanil and once with enflurane. Anti-emetics were not required. Blood pressure and pulse rate variations from preoperative levels occurred with similar frequency in all groups. Times to open eyes, show left thumb, and give correct date of birth were significantly less with a/fentanil than with the other agents tested. Trieger testing failed to demonstrate an advantage of a/fentanil, although two patients in each of the halothane and enflurane groups were insufficiently recovered to complete the tests. As tested, a/fentanil represents a useful alternative to halothane or enflurane as postoperative recovery of mental function is significantly more rapid than with the inhalational agents.

A/fentanil was used as an adjuvant to midazolam for analgesia in thirty outpatients undergoing colonoscopy. A similar group of thirty outpatients receivedfentanyl. The operating conditions and recovery times of the two groups were compared. A/fentanil usage resulted in better operating conditions. Recovery time was similar. Patient acceptance was high. No patient suffered respiratory depression during or after the procedure.
