A randomized comparison of propofol and methohexital as general anesthetics for vacuum abortion

This is a critical abstract of an economic evaluation that meets the criteria for inclusion on NHS EED. Each abstract contains a brief summary of the methods, the results and conclusions followed by a detailed critical assessment on the reliability of the study and the conclusions drawn. The authors did not provide a synthetic conclusion combining both the effectiveness and costs. They did not draw any conclusions as to whether the modest clinical benefits achieved with propofol over methohexital were worth the increased cost of propofol.
