Induction was done with sevoflurane 8% in <br>50% nitrous oxide in oxygen (group-A) and propofol <br>2mg/kg (group-B).All patients had volume controlled <br>ventilation and standard monitoring.Before shifting <br>Fast Track criteria was used inside operating room <br>and Post Anaesthesia Discharge score employed in <br>recovery area. Spearman’s Rank correlation was used <br>to check interdependence between the two recovery <br>scores i.e.Fast-Track criteria and Post Anaesthesia <br>Discharge score <br>in both groups. <br>Results: Fast track criteria and post op anaesthesia <br>scores were equal in both groups.Inhalation <br>induction(group-A) was slightly slower as compared <br>to intravenous induction with propofol (group-B) <br>but a higher incidence of un-expected <br>movement/cough was noted during propofol <br>induction as compared to sevoflurane. ASA physical <br>status classes of both groups are identical. Though <br>different anaesthesia techniques were used in both <br>groups while standardizing anaesthetic maintenance <br>factors and per-operative medications, no clinical <br>superiority in recovery times was noted in <br>ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The value <br>of correlation co-efficient(r) was .372 and .556 <br>respectively in both groups and significant at 0.01 <br>level.</p> ER -
