Abstract

To evaluate the efficacy of Propofol and Isoflurane in maintaining anaesthesia during day case surgery. To identify the most appropriate drug for sending the sufferer home as soon as possible following surgery. Material and Methods: In order to determine which agent is best for making the patient street-fit as soon as possible following anaesthesia maintenance with either Propofol or Isoflurane for day case procedures, a randomised prospective study was conducted in the Department of Anaesthesia, MNR Medical College and Hospitals, Fasalwadi, Sangareddy Mandal, Sangareddy District, Telangana, India, after obtaining institutional approval from October 2021 to September 2022. Results: 25 patients were taken in group P as well as Group I and their mean age was 28.3 and 30.6 respectively. 49.25 was mean weight of patients in group P and for Group I it was 55.56. Gender distribution in group I was 9 male and 16 females and 10 males, 15 females in group P. Time for Phase I recovery was 12.7 mins and 13 mins in group P and I respectively. Recovery period for Phase II was 32.75 min and 62 mins for group P and I respectively. Conclusion: A faster recovery was seen with propofol as a single drug, however both groups showed similar improvements during Phase I. With Propofol TIVA, phase II recovery time was drastically reduced in comparison to Isoflurane maintenance anaesthesia. In comparison to Isoflurane maintenance, TIVA with Propofol results in an earlier Home Readiness, which is preferable for day case procedures.
