[A comparative study of recovery following maintenance of anesthesia with propofol or isoflurane. An attempt to synthesize current data].
Quality of recovery is a means to improve anaesthetic safety during postoperative time, in post-anaesthesia recovery room and especially when the patient returns to his unity. The comparison of recovery after maintenance of anaesthesia with propofol or isoflurane shows that, for 50 to 60 min surgical procedures, results are significantly better with isoflurane. Review of literature shows that, for less than 30 min operations, propofol seems to give best recovery. For more than 30 min operations, isoflurane enables better quality recovery.
