Document Summary
Bajaj p, raiger lk, jain sd, kumar s. women emerge from general anesthesia faster than men. Interest in the speed with which patients recover post operatively, the type of deficits that anesthesia may induce in them and the overall profile of their physiologic and psychological states, has grown rapidly over the last two decades. Recovery from general anesthesia is dependent on factors governing drug sensitivity and drug disposition. In our study of 60 males and 60 females we have tried to find out if there is any significant difference in males and females, in their emergence from the effects of general anesthesia. This was a double blind study carried out in hundred and twenty patients, aged 18-70 years scheduled to undergo elective general surgical procedures. Patient recovery was observed continuously after the termination of anesthesia. Timings of initial wake up events were recorded by the anesthesiologist who was blinded to this study.
