Background and objectives: In order to determine how well Propofol and Isoflurane keep patients under anaesthesia during day surgery, For the purpose of determining the best medication to have the patient return home after surgery as quickly as feasible.

Methods: An institutionally-approved randomized prospective study was carried out from February 2016 to December 2016 in the Department of Dermatology, Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, Medical College, Barpeta, Assam, India, to compare the efficacy of propofol and isoflurane for day case procedures in terms of getting patients back on their feet as quickly as possible after anaesthesia maintenance.

Results: Group I included 25 individuals with a mean age of 30.6 and Group P included 25 patients with a mean age of 28.3. The average patient weight in Group P was 49.25 kg, but in Group I it was 55.56 kg. Group I had 9 men and 16 females, whereas group P had 10 men and 15 females. Groups P and I had Phase I recovery times of 12.7 and 13 minutes, respectively. Group I required 62 minutes to recover from Phase II, while group P required 32.75 minutes.

Conclusion: Although both groups demonstrated comparable gains during Phase I, the one administered with propofol alone resulted in a speedier recovery. In contrast to isoflurane maintenance anesthesia, propofol TIVA significantly shortened the time required for phase II recovery.
