Recovery profile - a comparison of isoflurane and propofol anesthesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Abstract

In this series, recovery was much faster with earlier gain of orientation with propofol anesthesia compared to isoflurane in the early recovery periods. Propofol is likely to be a better choice of anesthesia because of its better antiemetic property that persists long into postoperative period and reduces the risk of PONV.
