[Comparative study of anesthesia and recovery with propofol and enflurane in cervical surgery].

The recovery times and the state of postoperative awakening were studied after anaesthesia with propofol or enflurane. The forty patients who were to undergo surgery for cold thyroid nodules were divided into two homogeneous groups which were similar in age, sex, weight and length of surgery. In one group, induction was carried out with propofol, fentanyl, pancuronium bromide, and maintained with 9 mg X kg-1 X h-1 propofol.
