Conclusion
In conclusion, this systematic review and meta-analysis have illuminated
the comparative effectiveness and safety of Ciprofol and Propofol in the
context of general anesthesia. Both agents exhibited similar overall
efficacy and safety, indicating their potential interchangeability for
anesthesia induction and maintenance. Propofol had a faster onset of
anesthesia during the induction phase. Conversely, Ciprofol resulted in
reduced incidence of pain at injection site. Clinicians should consider
these findings while tailoring their choice of anesthetic agents to
individual patient characteristics and preferences.
