Cardiovascular parameters, SpO<sub>2</sub> and bispectral index (BIS) scores were recorded. Time to eye opening, hand squeezing and achieve modified Aldrete’s Score ≥ 9 and the incidence of complications were noted.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Early recovery times [eye opening, hand squeezing and achieve modified Aldrete’s Score ≥ 9] were significantly longer in group P (P &nbsp;0.001). Cardiovascular parameters, SpO<sub>2 </sub>and bispectral index (BIS) scores were comparable between the groups (P &gt; 0.05). The incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting was significantly higher in group S.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The present study which adjusted propofol infusion rate and sevoflurane concentration according to BIS scores revealed that maintenance of anesthesia with sevoflurane is associated with faster recovery than anesthesia with propofol. Propofol resulted in a significantly lower incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.</p> ER -
