Key result
Mastectomy was associated with a significantly higher consumption of propofol (144.2 vs 129.5 μg/kg/min, p=0.034) compared to thyroidectomy under total intravenous anesthesia.
Why the study?
Does the type of surgery (mastectomy vs thyroidectomy) affect the consumption of propofol and remifentanil and recovery index during TIVA?
Observational (n=50)
Random selection of eligible patients
No
Does the type of surgery (mastectomy vs thyroidectomy) affect the consumption of propofol and remifentanil and recovery index during TIVA?
Absolute Event Rate: 144.2% vs 129.5%
p-value: p=0.034
In female patients undergoing TIVA, mastectomy and thyroidectomy showed no significant differences in remifentanil consumption or recovery index, though propofol consumption rate was higher in mastectomy likely due to shorter operation time.
Background: This study investigated the effect of type of surgery on consumption of propofol and remifentanil and recovery index.

Cho et al. (2007) conducted an observational in Thyroidectomy or mastectomy (n=50). Mastectomy vs. Thyroidectomy was evaluated on Propofol consumption (μg/kg/min) (p=0.034). Mastectomy was associated with a significantly higher consumption of propofol (144.2 vs 129.5 μg/kg/min, p=0.034) compared to thyroidectomy under total intravenous anesthesia.
