The study was performed on the anaesthetic induction, cardiovascular parametric changes and patient satisfaction of sevoflurane with nitrous oxide or without nitrous oxide in related to a rapid intravenous anaesthetic agent propofol. A total three hundred patients belonging to physical status I or II of American society of Anesthesiologists were considered and were made into three groups i.e. with sevoflurane (100%) (n=50), sevoflurane (8%) with N2O (n=50) and 1% propofol at a rate of 0.5ml/sec (n=50). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure and oxygen saturation was recorded before and after induction. Mean pre-operative pulse rate was 81.4 ±9.48 in group I, 80.45±9.23 in group II and 79.68±9.98 in group III. Mean pulse rate was increased in all the groups after induction. Mean SBP 121.9±11.71 in group I, 124.9±7.41 in group II and 124.4±7.19 in group III. Mean SBP was decreased in all the groups after induction. Mean DBP 76.8±6.62 in group I, 77.86±6.32 in group II and 77.37±5.66 in group III. Mean DBP was decreased in all the groups after induction. No arrhythmias were observed in any patient. Patient performance and patient satisfaction was pleasant. 8% of sevoflurane carried in nitrous oxide and oxygen is a rapid, reliable and safe method for induction of anaesthesia while using vital capacity technique.
