Propofol Versus Thiopental — lsoflurane in Outpatient Surgical Procedures

2018 
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to assess the potential advantages of propofol to determine if it might be cost effective when compared with traditional anesthesia using thiopental and isoflurane (TI) for outpatient surgery. The study was designed as a prospective, randomized, biphasic trial (Phase I [peri-op]: single blind; Phase II [post-op]: double blind). Of 75 patients enrolled, 63 (33 propofol; 30 Tl) had evaluable results. Patients were randomly assigned to receive induction and maintenance of anesthesia with either propofol or a combination of thiopental and isoflurane (TI). During recovery, the mean times to ambulation, tolerating liquids, and discharge were significantly lower in the propofol group. In addition, less direct patient care was required in the recovery room for those receiving propofol. Patients in the propofol group experienced less nausea and vomiting than those receiving TI. Patients regarded overall recovery from surgery to be significantly better with propofol. The average cost of propofol per patient ($16.41) was approximately three times higher than with TI ($5.45). RESUME On a effectue une etude prospective, aleatoire, biphasique (phase I [perioperatoire]: a simple insue; phase II [postoperatoire]: a double insue) pour evaluer les avantages eventuels du propofol et determiner si son emploi pour la chirurgie en unite de soins d'un jour est rentable, comparativement aux anesthesiques classiques, a savoir une combinaison de thiopental et d'isoflurane (Tl). On a pu evaluer les resultats de 63 (33 propofols; 30 Tl) des 75 patients qui ont participe a l'etude. Le choix des patients pour les deux types d'anesthesie s'est fait au hasard.  Au reveil les patients anesthesies au propofol mettent, en moyenne, significativement moins de temps a marcher, a tolerer les liquides et a sortir de l'hopital. De plus, ce groupe exige moins de soins dans la salle de reveil. Les patients anesthesies au propofol ont moins de nausees et de vomissements que ceux anesthesies avec le melange thiopental-isoflurane. Dans l'ensemble, la recuperation post-operatoire est nettement meilleure chez les patients anesthesies au propofol. Le cout moyen par patient du propofol (16,41 $) est environ trois fois plus eleve que celui de la combinaison thiopental-isoflurane (5,45 $).
