Opposing QT effects do not alter suitability of either agent for induction in subarachnoid haemorrhage; reinforces equivalence in this population.
Does thiopental compared to propofol affect QT interval and dispersion during anaesthesia induction in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage?
Despite differing effects on QT interval and dispersion, thiopental and propofol are equally suitable for anaesthesia induction in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Tanskanen et al. (2002) studied this question.
