Randomized trial compares anesthesia efficacy and recovery in adults using propofol and sevoflurane, suggesting better outcomes with propofol.

The aim is to compare the efficacy and convenience of TCI propofol versus sevoflurane for anesthesia in adults.
Forty adults randomized into two groups: TCI propofol and sevoflurane.
Propofol administered at target plasma concentration of 3-8 mcg/ml; sevoflurane at 1.2-1.5 MAC.
Comparison of induction qualities, hemodynamic responses, and recovery profiles.
Sevoflurane group showed significantly higher SBP, DBP, and MBP post-intubation (P < 0.05).
Significantly faster emergence from anesthesia with TCI propofol (P < 0.001).
Higher incidence of involuntary movements and laryngospasm in the sevoflurane group, but not statistically significant.
