Abstract
The anaesthetic properties and side-effects of propofol 1.5 mg kg-1, etomidate 0.2 mg kg-1, and methohexitone 1.5 mg kg-1 were compared in 71 healthy female patients undergoing short gynaecological procedures. Propofol proved to be a safe and effective agent for induction and maintenance of anaesthesia and was associated with a lower incidence of side-effects than either etomidate or methohexitone.
