Abstract
The speed and quality of recovery after anaesthesia were studied in 60 outpatients. Anaesthesia was induced using propofol and maintained by nitrous oxide in oxygen supplemented with either halothane or isoflurane. Initial clinical recovery was significantly faster in the halothane group but no differences were found during subsequent psychomotor testing. Minor postoperative side effects were common in both groups.
