Abstract
Eighty unpremeditated female patients undergoing short gynaecological procedures were randomly allocated to four groups and received either alfentanil or fentanyl (double-blind), together with Ahhesin-oxygen or methohexitone-nitrous oxide-oxygen. Recovery from anaesthesia was assessed using the post-box test and the deletion of p. There was a significantly greater frequency of vomiting after operation (P<0.05) with methohexitone compared with Althesin and with fentanyl compared with nlffntanil, and a significantly greater frequency of pain on injection (P< 0.001) with methohexitone compared with Althesin. The alfentanil groups completed the post-box test significantly earlier after operation than the fentanyl groups (P<0.05). We conclude that alfentanil may offer a signifinnit advantage over fentanyl as an analgesic supplement to i.v. anaesthesia for short precedures
