Abstract

Intravenous anesthesia was compared with inhalation anesthesia in 20 patients of oral and maxillofacial surgery. The patients were randomly assigned to two treatment groups so that 20 patients were injected ketamine and propofol and 20 patients were administered enflurane. The hemodynamic responses of patients and recovery profile of the two groups were compared. Intravenous anesthesia group awoke significantly faster than inhalation anesthesia after operation. Time to full recovery in intravenous anesthesia group was significantly shorter than that of inhalation anesthesia group. We conclude that intravenous anesthesia is a practical technique for oral and maxillofacial surgery patients and intravenous anesthesia may be more preferable because of the significant shortness of recovery time.
