It depends on the patient's age and their general state of health and the procedure being performed.

At our hospital, propofol is usually used as the induction agent along with nitrous oxide and isoflurane (Forane) as the maintenance agent. However there are other choices, such as sodium pentothol along with muscle relaxants in the Curare family of drugs.
