The selected patients were<br>allocated into two groups; A (Propofol) and B<br>(Sevoflurane) of 30 each. Group A was induced with<br>IV Propofol 2mg/kg while Group B was induced by<br>sevoflurane 6-8%. Anesthetic induction was<br>supposedly achieved after loss of eyelash reflex.<br>Results: Compared with base line, both groups<br>showed a statistically significant decline in mean<br>arterial pressure after induction. Propofol group (A)<br>showed a larger transient decrease in MAP compared<br>to sevoflurane group (B) (p&lt;0.001). There was a<br>statistical significant overall greater decline in MAP<br>and heart rate after induction with propofol when<br>compared with sevoflurane.<br>Conclusion: Sevoflurane provides slightly better<br>hemodynamic stability compared to propofol during<br>anesthetic induction.</p> ER -
