We aimed to compare propofol, thiopentone, and ketofol as induction agents during ECT regarding their effects on ECT-induced hemodynamic changes, seizure duration and recovery …

This study aimed to compare thiopentone and propofol for use during ECT, the primary outcome measure being the clinical response as assessed by BDI (Beck Depression Inventory) and …

Objectives: To compare propofol and thiopental as anesthetic agents for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) with respect to seizure duration, stimulus charge, and clinical effects. Materials …

We found that propofol had the advantage of smooth induction, stable hemodynamic parameters and rapid recovery as compared to etomidate and thiopentone. Thiopentone had the …

Results: Propofol is better induction agent as compared to thiopentone sodium in terms of faster induction, better haemodynaemic stability, no significant effect on seizure duration, early …

We conclude that propofol is similar to thiopentone in its anaesthetic qualities during induction and maintenance of short anaesthetic procedures. Propofol was associated with a more rapid …

Induction of anaesthesia was slightly longer with propofol than thiopentone (42.2 vs 29.8 sec) and was smooth with both drugs. Postintubation increases in heart rate, and systolic and diastolic …

Post-intubation increases in heart rate, and systolic and diastolic blood pressures were attenuated by propofol when compared with thiopentone. After the administration of propofol, times to eye …

We hypothesize that IV thiopentone significantly facilitates the inserting conditions of the LMA when compared to IV propofol. Thus, the study aimed at assessing the effectiveness and …

Propofol, diisopropyl phenol, has properties which suggest that it might be a useful alternative to thiopentone. The suspension has a pH of 7.0 which makes it less likely to cause local tissue or …
