The present paper comparatively analyzes anesthetic support in 91 patients during a total endoprosthetic operation on the knee joint.

The study established that the above-mentioned general anesthesia failed to produce a steady-state hemodynamics; the earliest postoperative period being accompanied by a significant pain syndrome, which required the use of narcotic analgesics.
