CARDIOVASCULAR EFFECTS OF I.V. INDUCTION IN CHILDREN: COMPARISON BETWEEN PROPOFOL AND THIOPENTONE

We have compared the haemodynamic responses to i.v. propofol 2.5 mg kg-1 with those to thio-pentone 5.0 mg kg-1 in 41 healthy Chinese children at induction of anaesthesia. They were allocated to four groups according to their age and induction agent received: group 1
