Abstract
A prolonged electrocardiographic QT interval may be harmful during general anaesthesia. It may be prudent, therefore, to select anaesthetic agents which have the least effect on the QT interval. In a controlled study, propofol has been shown to have less effect on the QT interval than thiopentone (P < 0.05). Our data suggest also that any effects which may be caused by enflurane and isoflurane are masked by the effects of the induction agent. © 1989 Oxford University Press.
