Unvoluntary movements were observed in 2 children (% 13) who received propofol in contrast to 1 child (6 %) with thiopentone, although those movements were transient and minor. In the propofol group, the mean duration of apnea was longer than the thiopentone group, which was statistically significant (p<0.05). The arterial blood pressure decreases were more profound in propofol group in comparison with thiopentone group. In conclusion, propofol appears to be a promising alternative to thiopentone in children.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPediatric anaesthesiaPropofolThiopentoneArticle2312224N/A
