Brief Summary   This study is a randomised double blind study that evaluates the effectiveness of different concentrations of Sufentanil mixed in Propofol infusion in total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The objectives are to compare and evaluate perioperative haemodynamic parameters, recovery times and postoperative analgesia among 60 adult patients divided into three groups of 20 each receiving TIVA using Propofol infusion with or without Sufentanil. It was conducted over a period of 18 months at Global hospitals, Hyderabad. We conclude that both concentrations of Sufentanil added to Propofol infusion, 1 mcg/ml (Group S1) and 2 mcg/ml (Group S2), provide stable intraoperative haemodynamics and good postoperative analgesia. Recovery time was prolonged in Group S2 but it may not be clinically important (7 minutes). Hence,we conclude that both concentrations of Sufentanil achieve the goals of stable haemodynamics without a clinically significant prolongation of recovery time but the 24- hour postoperative analgesia was better in Group S2.
