title: [Comparative use of thiopental and methohexital in patients anesthesized for E.N.T. endoscopy. Apropos of 60 cases].
abstract: The clinical effects of methohexital versus thiopental are studied in 60 randomized patients anaesthetized for E.N.T. endoscopy or laser surgery of the larynx. Thiopental is injected by I.V. bolus (5 mg/kg) and methohexital is administered by continuous infusion (0.1 mg/kg/min). Fentanyl is the analgesic and succinyl-choline is used for curarisation. All patients are ventilated by a conventional ventilator or by high frequency ventilation. Side-effects, extubation time, and recovery estimated by the Newman-test modified by Weber are studied. The only difference between methohexital and thiopental is a better recovery-score at 30 minutes for the methohexital group.
