[Diprivan versus midazolam in combined anaesthesia with ketamin for minor gynecological surgery].

We tested the hypothesis that diprivan/ketamine (D/K) anesthesia would offer advantages compared to midazolam/ketamine (M/K) in patients undergoing minor gynecological surgery. After patient written consent, 60 healthy women, which were scheduled for elective termination of pregnancy were randomly allocated into two groups. Operating conditions, recovery, pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and patient's satisfaction to anesthesia were assessed. Demographic and surgical data were identical in the groups. Immediate recovery was faster with patients given diprivan than midazolam. Patients receiving M/K experienced more PONV in recovery room. D/K is preferable method of anesthesia for ultra-short gynecological procedure compared to M/K because of faster recovery and decreased incidence of PONV.
