Does propofol improve postoperative mood state compared to thiopentone in unpremedicated patients undergoing minor gynaecological surgery?
Propofol induction for minor gynaecological surgery results in better postoperative mood states and a sense of well-being compared to thiopentone.
McDonald et al. (1988) conducted an RCT in Minor gynaecological surgery (n=40). Propofol vs. Thiopentone 5 mg/kg was evaluated on Mood state evaluated by the profile of mood states method. Anaesthesia induction with propofol resulted in less postoperative mood disturbance and a greater sense of well-being compared to thiopentone.
