Does propofol improve recovery characteristics compared to thiopentone in unpremedicated patients undergoing minor gynaecological procedures?
Propofol provides faster early and psychomotor recovery than thiopentone for minor gynecological procedures, though it is associated with more injection pain and blood pressure reduction.
Weightman et al. (1987) studied this question.
