Abstract

Intravenous anesthesia was compared with inhalation anesthesia in 20 patients of oral and maxillofacial surgery. The patients were randomly assigned to study in two treatment groups. 20 patients were injected ketamine and propofol. 20 patients were administered Enflurane. The respond of patients consciousness and general recovery condition of the two groups were compared. Intravenous anesthesia group were awake significantly faster without complications such as nause, vomiting, and agitation after operation than inhalation anesthesia group. Full recovery time of intravenous anesthesia group was significantly 3 times less than inhalation anesthesia group. The authors conclude that intravenous anesthesia is a practical technique for oral and maxillofacial surgery patients undergoing and may be preferable to intravenous anesthesia because of the significantly short of recovery time without complications.
