Key result
Nitrous oxide-narcotic anesthesia combined with a muscle relaxant for outpatient laparoscopy resulted in an average recovery time of 81 minutes.
Why the study?
Does nitrous oxide-narcotic anesthesia with a muscle relaxant allow for early discharge in patients undergoing outpatient laparoscopy?

Does nitrous oxide-narcotic anesthesia with a muscle relaxant allow for early discharge in patients undergoing outpatient laparoscopy?
Nitrous oxide-narcotic anesthesia with a muscle relaxant allows for early discharge (average 81 minutes) after outpatient laparoscopy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support early discharge after outpatient laparoscopy; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice without controlled trials.
Fishburne et al. (1974) conducted an observational in Outpatient laparoscopy (n=153). Nitrous oxide-narcotic anesthesia combined with a muscle relaxant was evaluated on Recovery time. Nitrous oxide-narcotic anesthesia combined with a muscle relaxant for outpatient laparoscopy resulted in an average recovery time of 81 minutes.
