[Clinical evaluation of a method of total intravenous anesthesia in various types of surgical patients].
Inhaled anaesthetic agents (gases and vapours) may be detrimental to the health of patients and cause a chronic operating room air pollution. Therefore, the authors expound the results obtained using a total intravenous anesthesia technique including propofol to induce and maintain hypnosis integrated with pancuronium bromide, droperidol and fentanyl. Patients have been ventilated with mixture of air and oxygen 30%. This technique has been tried in 60 cases of various kind of elective surgical patients obtaining very good results: in 40% of cases the anaesthetic level was excellent, while in some patients it was not adequate on account of intraoperative pressure increases. This technique of total intravenous anesthesia deserves wider use on account of the good tolerance to propofol, the excellent awakening without postoperative troubles (nausea and vomiting).
