title: [Use of propofol and buprenorphine for total intravenous anesthesia].
abstract: A study was carried out in 47 patients undergoing general surgery and elective gynecological surgery under totally endovenous general anesthesia. For this purpose, propofol and buprenorphine were used in controlled ventilation with oxygen and air, totally excluding the use of nitrous oxide and halogenate vapours. The following parameters were measured to evaluate the state and depth of anesthesia: arterial pressure (systolic, mean, diastolic), heart rate, sweating, lacrimation (Evan's PRST). The awakening from anesthesia was evaluated using Steward's test. The results of monitoring show that the method represents a valid alternative to anesthesia using inhalatory techniques. Nonetheless, the Authors underline the need for further research on the subject.
