after sevoflurane anesthesia, body movements and hemodynamic fluctuations were observed during anesthesia with propofol alone. 2 Previous reports have documented the usefulness of 3 – 6 and problems associated with 4 , 7 jointly administering an analgesic agent (eg, nitrous oxide, 4 fentanyl, remifentanil, 3 , 6 or ketamine) during propofol anesthesia to reduce or prevent adverse events and hemodynamic fluctuations. 4 , 5 , 7 However, few studies have examined the use of propofol in combination with an analgesic agent under mildly invasive surgical conditions
