Propofol induction and maintenance with nitrous oxide in paediatric outpatient dental anaesthesia. A comparison with thiopentone-nitrous oxide-halothane.

Intravenous induction of anaesthesia with propofol (3.5 mg/kg) and maintenance boluses (1 mg/kg), with 30% oxygen and 70% nitrous oxide, were compared with intravenous thiopentone induction (5 mg/kg) followed by 30% oxygen and 70% nitrous oxide, supplemented with 2 to 3% halothane in children aged 2-11 years who underwent dental extractions. Both techniques were found to be acceptable in clinical practice. Recovery from anaesthesia was assessed by the time taken to reach clinically-defined milestones. Times to open eyes, give name, stand unaided, and time to discharge were all 3 to 7 minutes shorter in those who had the propofol technique compared with those who had thiopentone-halothane (p less than 0.05). These indices of recovery were more sensitive than the Steward score.

The effect of premedication on the incidence of postoperative vomiting in children after E.N.T. surgery.

The influence of premedication and intraoperative narcotic administration on the incidence of vomiting after E.N.T. surgery was studied over a six-month period in 596 children. A high incidence of vomiting was found after intramuscular papaveretum and hyoscine and after oral diazepam. Oral trimeprazine tartrate was associated with a low incidence of vomiting and was found to have an anti-emetic effect when an opiate analgesic was administered after induction of anaesthesia.
