Based on the measured parameters it also concludes that propofol is preferably recommended as safe therapy than
thiopentone sodium for the surgical operations.
Effects of
thiopentone, etomidate and propofol on the haemodynamic response to tracheal intubation.

thiopentone and Propofol," Acta Anaesthesiologica Sinica, vol.
Every medical student knows that cardiac disease is a relative contraindication to the use of
thiopentone. However, the enormous advantages of a smooth induction, and the knowledge that careful technique is--even in the cardiac patient--rarely followed by trouble, makes the use of
thiopentone almost mandatory.
At the end of the 8th week of the experiment, 5 ml retro-orbital blood samples were obtained under anesthesia using 40 mg/Kg sodium
thiopentone, i.p.
Comparison of propofol and
thiopentone for LMA insertion.
In another study14 after the administration of magnesium sulphate and
thiopentone no case of fasciculation was observed in patients who had succinylcholine-induced anaesthesia.
The first most effective, safe and reliable intravenous anesthetic agent was
thiopentone sodium.
The groups were further randomized to
thiopentone or propofol as the anaesthetic induction agent.
Two agents that have not been linked to ototoxicity--oxytocin and
thiopentone sodium--were found to be ototoxic in our study (1 case each).
The induction of general anaesthesia for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) often includes intravenous agents, such as propofol, methohexitone and
thiopentone (1).
