Abstract :

Total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) is defined as a technique of anaesthesia which involves the use of only intravenous drugs for anaesthesia. In this study, the combination of Propofol with Nalbuphine was compared with Propofol with Butorphanol in a double blinded prospective trial in patients undergoing general anaesthesia for short surgery. 80 patients belonging to ASA grade I and II of either sex undergoing short surgeries under TIVA were included in our study. Patients were randomized equally into 2 groups with 40 patients each. Group I received Nalbuphine with Propofol and Group II received Butorphanol with Propofol. Blood pressure, MAP and heart rate were monitored every 5 minutes till the end of surgery. The changes in heart rate and MAP between the two groups was not significant but group II had increased blood pressure a few times during surgery. The emergence time was significantly prolonged in Nalbuphine group.
