Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Propofol infusion for induction and maintenance of anesthesia in elderly patients: recovery and hemodynamic profiles.
To evaluate the effect of propofol infusion for both induction and maintenance of anesthesia on hemodynamics and recovery in elderly patients compared with conventional thiopental-isoflurane anesthesia. ⋯ Induction of anesthesia by propofol infusion in elderly patients produces greater attenuation of cardiovascular sympathetic response than thiopental bolus induction. Induction and maintenance of anesthesia by propofol infusion results in more rapid recovery in our elderly patients than thiopental isoflurane anesthesia.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Efficacy and safety of divided dose administration of mivacurium for a 90-second tracheal intubation.
To compare the safety and effectiveness of 0.25 mg divided doses of mivacurium chloride to succinylcholine for a 90-second tracheal intubation. ⋯ When Sch is not desirable, mivacurium 0.25 mg/kg given as a divided dose provides good to excellent intubation conditions 90 seconds after the initial dose without significant changes in MAP or HR. It can be an appropriate alternative for short surgical procedures. It must be emphasized that this conclusion does not apply to rapid-sequence induction-intubation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Incidence of nausea and vomiting in outpatients undergoing general anesthesia in relation to selection of intraoperative opioid.
To measure the incidence of nausea and vomiting in outpatients in relation to selection of, or withholding of, intraoperative opioid. ⋯ Opioid administration at the doses employed during induction of anesthesia does not promote postoperative nausea or vomiting, nor increase length of stay in the PACU.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
A comparison of mivacurium dosage requirements during isoflurane and desflurane anesthesia.
To evaluate the dose requirement and recovery characteristics of mivacurium infusions during anesthesia with equipotent concentrations of either desflurane or isoflurane. ⋯ There were no differences in the dose requirement and recovery indices of mivacurium during either desflurane or isoflurane-based anesthesia. Patients who took longer to recover from the bolus dose in both groups showed a subsequent reduction in dose requirements of mivacurium.
