title: Fentanyl-midazolam-flumazenil anaesthesia during induced abortion.
abstract: A new anaesthetic method (fentanyl-midazolam-flumazenil) was compared with recently administered (pethidine-diazepam-ketamine) anaesthesia in two groups of 25 women, each undergoing termination of pregnancy. No significant difference was found between the two groups in the quality of anaesthesia. Recovery was assessed by means of the Aldrete score and a visual analogue scale. The recovery time was significantly shorter in patients who received midazolam-flumazenil. In the ketamine group, 36% of the patients complained of unpleasant dreams. The recovery in the midazolam group was comfortable.
