Background: General anesthesia has undergone a vast number of improvements and modifications and even its recently modified form total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA; induction as well as maintenance of anesthesia with intravenous agents only) has undergone many improvements ever since its introduction into clinical practice. Till recently, inhalational agents have remained the routine choice for maintenance of anesthesia. Aim of the study: Tocomparetotal I.V. anesthesia using Propofol with an inhalation Technique. Materials and methods: The study was conducted in the Department of anesthesiology the medical institute.For the study, we selected patients admitting to the surgical ward of the hospital. The selected patients ranged between age of 16- 60 years and belonged to ASA physical status I and II. The patients with history of bleeding disorders, hepatic, renal, or cardiovascular disorders were excluded from the study. A total of 80 patients were selected for the study. Results: A total of 80 patients were included in the study. The patients were randomly grouped into Group A and Group B. We observed that mean age of patients in Group A was 37.14 years and in Group B was 39.78 years. Number of male patients in group A was 26 and in Group B was 22. Grade 0 operative field condition was seen in 11 patients of Group A and 14 patients of Group B. Grade 1 operative field condition was seen in 4 patients of Group A and 3 patients of Group B. Grade 2 operative field was seen in 3 patients of Group A and 2 patients of Group B. Grade 3 operative field was seen in 1 patient of Group A. Conclusion:  We conclude that total I.V. anesthesia using Propofol offers no significant advantage over inhalation anesthetic technique.
