Implication

Propofol induction supports faster discharge in day-case dental surgery; reinforces its advantage over thiopentone in this RCT.

Structured PICO

Does induction with propofol improve postoperative recovery times compared to thiopentone in day surgery patients undergoing third molar extraction?

P
Population
40 ASA I unpremedicated day surgery patients undergoing surgical extraction of third molar teeth under relaxant general anaesthesia
I
Intervention
Induction with propofol
C
Comparator
Induction with thiopentone
O
Outcome
Mean recovery times required for patients to sit out of bed and meet discharge criteria

Induction with propofol significantly shortens postoperative recovery times compared to thiopentone in day-case dental surgery.
