[Subjective complaints of out-patients after halothane or enflurane anaesthesia (author's transl)]. 1978

G Kreienbühl

In a prospective and randomized study, day-patients receiving halothane or enflurane-anaesthesia (n = 42 resp. 59) were followed up by questionnaire to detect subjective complaints. There was no difference between the two anaesthetic agents. Despite the high incidence of complaints (88%), most of the patients would choose day-stay care (75%) and general anaesthesia (77%) again.

D006221	Halothane	A nonflammable, halogenated, hydrocarbon anesthetic that provides relatively rapid induction with little or no excitement. Analgesia may not be adequate. NITROUS OXIDE is often given concomitantly. Because halothane may not produce sufficient muscle relaxation, supplemental neuromuscular blocking agents may be required.
