Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Hypnotic and cardiovascular effects of proprietary and generic propofol formulations do not differ.
The aim of the study was to compare the potency of two different propofol formulations: proprietary and generic propofol using the bispectral index (BIS) monitoring. ⋯ The two propofol formulations are equipotent when hypnotic effect is assessed by BIS monitoring.

Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Production of compound A under low-flow anesthesia is affected by type of anesthetic machine.
The purpose was to compare the concentrations of compound A in inspired gas breathed by patients produced by different types of anesthetic machines under prolonged sevoflurane low-flow anesthesia. ⋯ In spite of the use of a conventional carbon dioxide (CO2) absorbent with strong bases, the anesthetic machine AS/3 with a small volume of canister/soda lime (900 ml/700 ml) produced lower concentrations of compound A than those produced by the other machines.
