Background: There are many reports on delayed emergence from anesthesia in the elderly
due to propofol, but there are few reports that have considered the differences due to age at …

Purpose To compare recovery of psychomotor function in elderly and young surgical
patients at emergence from propofol-alfentanil anaesthesia. Methods Ten elderly (> 70 yr) …

Methods In 55 patients ranging in ages from 31 to 91, ASA1 or 2, scheduled for surgery
under general anesthesia propofol 2 mg x kg (-1) was administered by a bolus injection via …

We studied 110 patients older than 60 yr or aged 18–50 yr as separate groups in two stages
to identify the smallest effective doses of propofol for induction of anaesthesia. In the elderly …

Two studies were carried out on 609 fit, unpremedicated patients to assess the influence of
patient age on the response to the rapidly‐acting hindered phenol, propofol, which is being …

Abstract Background/Objectives In the context of an aging surgical population, appropriate
anesthetic induction dose adjustments for the older adult remain poorly defined. In the …

It is generally accepted that geriatric patients are more sensitive to propofol than adults; thus,
a dose-adjusted propofol is recommended for these patients during the induction of …

Purpose To assess the effects of age on recovery of psychomotor function for propofol
sedation during spinal anesthesia. Methods Propofol was continuously infused during …

Materials and methods: Study was performed on 60 cases and who were planned for
elective surgery, after the approval of ethic committee. Cases were randomized to equal 3 …

BACKGROUND Propofol is a good choice for elderly patents because it produces rapid
onset and quick recovery with few side effects. Propofol produces dose-dependent …
