Why the study?
Does total intravenous anaesthesia with propofol compared to a balanced volatile technique with thiopentone/enflurane affect the haemodynamic profile during fibreoptic oral intubation in ASA 1 and 2 patients undergoing elective ENT surgery?

Comparable haemodynamic stability with either technique; confirms equivalence and supports clinician choice in fibreoptic intubation for ASA 1-2 ENT patients.
Does total intravenous anaesthesia with propofol compared to a balanced volatile technique with thiopentone/enflurane affect the haemodynamic profile during fibreoptic oral intubation in ASA 1 and 2 patients undergoing elective ENT surgery?
Propofol and thiopentone/enflurane provide comparable haemodynamic stability during fibreoptic oral intubation in healthy patients undergoing ENT surgery.
