Abstract

Objectives


The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of Propofol infusion versus an Isoflurane/Nitroglycerine combination for achieving controlled Hypotension during neurosurgical anesthesia.


Materials and Methods


This randomized controlled trial was undertaken in the Orthopaedic department of a tertiary care teaching hospital for eligible patients of High-energy tibial plateau fractures from January 2023 to June 2023. Patients from 18 to 65 years with essential hypertension requiring controlled Hypotension for surgery were enrolled, and patients with known hypersensitivity to the study drugs and significant cardiovascular/respiratory diseases were excluded.


Results


One hundred and twenty patients were recruited for the study. In terms of the onset of hypotensive effect, Propofol had a shorter mean time (8.2 ± 2.1 min) and lower incidence of Hypotension (30% compared to 50%, p < 0.05).


Conclusion


Propofol infusion is a better means of achieving controlled Hypotension in neurosurgical anesthesia, optimizing patient benefits, and enhancing patient outcomes.
