Abstract
ABSTRUCT: BACKGROUND: Anal dilatation is streaching of the anal incision gently with special dilators as a part of follow up after posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) and pull through operations in peadiatric patients . Sevoflurane has many of the features of an ideal volatile anaesthetic agent with rapid induction which make it particularly useful in children . Propofol is the most desirable intravenous agent in outpatient anaesthesia because of rapid induction and recovery. OBJECTIVE: Is to compare propofol with sevoflurane as a single anaesthetic agent for anal dilatation in peadiatric patients that produce more rapid turn over of cases. Patients and methods: 50 peadiatric patients who had anal dilatation with Hegar dilators allocated into 2 groups according to the anaesthetic agent used sevoflurane (S) or propofol(P) . The variables measured are the induction time(T1) and the time needed to achieve good relaxation(T2). RESULTS: T1 was shorter in group P(mean 60 sec)than group S(mean 86 sec)p value0,000(highly significant),T2also shorter in group P(mean 99.5 sec)than group S(mean 121.3 sec)p value0.012(significant) so both variables measured were shorter in case of using propofol with statistical significancy. CONCLUSION: Propofol produces more rapid turn over of short cases than sevoflurane and with no risk of malignant hyperthermia. .
