    Author: O'Toole DP, Milligan KR, Howe JP, McCollum JS, Dundee JW.
    Journal: Anaesthesia; 1987 Apr; 42(4):373-6. PubMed ID: 3496024.
    Abstract:
    The induction and recovery characteristics of equivalent doses of propofol and methohexitone were compared in 50 patients undergoing day case isoflurane anaesthesia. Propofol induction was smoother but was associated with greater cardiorespiratory depression. Both the speed and quality of recovery were superior with propofol compared with methohexitone.
