Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Flunitrazepam compared with althesin as an induction agent in balanced anaesthesia.
The effects of flunitrazepam and Althesin as anaesthetic induction agents were studied in a double-blind trial in 97 patients undergoing abdominal or gynaecological surgery. There was no difference between the two preparations in respect of the quality of induction. ⋯ Recovery was more rapid from Althesin anaesthesia. A low incidence of nausea was observed in both groups.
