Equivalent recovery times support flexible agent selection by nausea risk or cost; confirms no awakening advantage for propofol over isoflurane in outpatients.
Does maintenance of anaesthesia with propofol compared to isoflurane improve recovery times and psychomotor function in female outpatients?
Maintenance of anaesthesia with either isoflurane or propofol provides reasonably rapid and reliable recovery with no significant difference in awakening or orientation times, though propofol may be associated with less nausea in certain procedures.
Marshall et al. (1992) studied this question.
