Abstract
Methohexitone or propanidid were used for anaesthesia in 790 women undergoing operation for cervical dilatation and uterine currettage. In a series of 186 patients, awakening from anaesthesia was more rapid after propanidid than methohexitone. The incidence of excitation phenomena associated with methohexitone was observed in 203 patients. It was less following slow injection of methohexitone than after rapid injection, the reduction being particularly in the incidence of hiccup. In a further 401 patients propanidid was used with or without supplementary nitrous oxide and oxygen, with or without atropine premedication, and with two different injection rates of propanidid. The influence of vomiting did not appear to be significantly affected by any of these three variables.
