[ Complaints in the postoperative phase related to anesthetics ] . In two prospective , randomized studies the frequency of headache , nausea , vomiting , and analgesic requirement during the first postoperative 24 h was observed in order to study differences between the sexes and the inhalation anesthetics halothane , enflurane , isoflurane , or balanced anesthesia with enflurane/alfentanil . Nausea and vomiting were more frequent after enflurane than after halothane or isoflurane . There was no significant difference between anesthetics and frequency of headache , but there were significant differences in postoperative analgesic requirements which were highest after halothane and lowest after isoflurane . Postoperative complaints were always significantly greater among women than among men . The second study indicated that balanced anesthesia did not reduce the analgesic requirement compared to enflurane without alfentanil , but lead to a higher incidence of vomiting . After premedication with flunitrazepam and atropine and combined with 70 % N2O/30 % O2 , isoflurane was the most favorable anesthetic agent with regard to the parameters studied . Balanced anesthesia with enflurane/alfentanil did not show any advantages for patients in the postoperative phase under the given conditions .
