Comparison of effects of general anaesthesia Induction With Thiopentone-fentanyl and propofol-fentanyl Combinations On Left ventricular systolic function assessed by Trans-thoracic echocardiography: A one year randomised clinical trial

Abstract

Background: Assessing the effect of induction agents on systolic function of the heart may help us in selecting the appropriate induction agents in patients who are at risk of developing intraoperative cardiac dysfunction. Objectives: To assess the effects of Thiopentone-Fentanyl vs. Propofol-Fentanyl on left ventricular systolic function in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgeries under general anaesthesia using trans-thoracic echocardiography
