title: [Recovery after anesthesia with Diprivan].
abstract: In view of the rapid and complete recovery, the low incidence of hangover, nausea or vomiting, propofol can be considered as first choice agent for minor surgery, short operations and/or day-case surgery. For long and major procedures it is of no advantage over the thiopental-isoflurane technique. For a rapid recovery, the dose should be titrated, particularly during the closing stage of the procedure. As propofol has some amnesic properties, any instructions given to the patient postoperatively should be in writing. Sexual thoughts resulting from disinhibition may occur during emergence; therefore, it is recommended to have a third party present to avoid any implications of misconduct.
