Learning during general anaesthesia: implicit recall after methohexitone or propofol infusion.
Forty-four patients undergoing coronary artery surgery were allocated randomly to receive an infusion of propofol or methohexitone as a hypnotic supplement to a fentanyl-based anaesthetic technique. A taped message was played to the patients, consisting of 10 words associated with prompt sentences and a suggestion for a specific postoperative behavioural response. Twenty patients (10 propofol a...
متن کاملRecall during intermittent propofol anaesthesia.
We discontinued temporarily an infusion of propofol for surgical reasons in 20 patients undergoing incontinence surgery. The patients, who had not received neuromuscular blockers, were allowed to regain consciousness to a level enabling them to cough on command, open their eyes, and identify and verbally confirm a randomly assigned digit shown on paper. Thereafter, 5-14 min after discontinuatio...
متن کاملComparison of infusions of propofol and methohexitone to provide light general anaesthesia during surgery with regional blockade.
General anaesthesia was induced with, and maintained by, an infusion of either propofol or methohexitone, in patients undergoing surgery with the aid of regional blockade. Both agents provided satisfactory and controllable anaesthesia. Complications were few with a similar incidence for the two drugs. Recovery from anaesthesia was significantly faster following propofol.
متن کاملUnconscious learning during surgery with propofol anaesthesia.
BACKGROUND Learning during anaesthesia has been demonstrated, but little is known about the circumstances under which it may occur. This study investigated the hypothesis that learning during anaesthesia occurs during, but not before, surgical stimulation. METHODS Words were played through headphones to 64 day-surgery patients during propofol anaesthesia. Fourteen words were played repeatedly...
متن کاملInfusion rates for anaesthesia with propofol.
The infusion rate of propofol which would produce anaesthesia, when combined with nitrous oxide in oxygen, was studied in 75 fit unpremedicated patients undergoing body surface operations. The infusion rates were based on multiples of the median dose required to produce anaesthesia by intermittent injection in an additional 20 patients. The scatter of doses showed a right skew, for both intermi...
