Recovery profile and side effects of remifentanil‐based anaesthesia with desflurane or propofol for laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Abstract

In patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, remifentanil-based anaesthetic regimens in conjunction with propofol or desflurane are suitable and allow for rapid recovery from anaesthesia. However, the use of propofol results in less postoperative analgesic consumption and nausea as compared to desflurane.
