Objective To explore effects of propofol plus remifentanil on analgesic artificial abortion. Method 178 patients undergoing analgesic artificial abortion were randomly divided into two groups: group A and B. Patients in group A receiving propofol （1.5

2

.0 mg/kg） intravenously and those in group B receiving propofol （1.5

2

.0 mg/kg） and remifentanil （1 μg/kg） instead. Propofol was increased according to the response of patients. The anesthetic effect

response during the operation

dosage and induction time were observed and compared between the two groups.Results The initial and later increased dosage of propofol in group A were markedly higher than those in group B （p

<

0.05）. MAP and HR measured at 1

5

10 minutes after operation were significantly higher in group A than in group B. Time needed to open eyes

restore consciousness and leave hospital was significantly longer in group A than in group B （p

<

0.05）. VAS value was considerably higher io group A than in group B （p

<

0.05）. Restlessness was more often occurred in group A than in group B （p

<

0.05）. Conclusion The infusion of propofol plus remifentanil in painless artificial abortion was superior to that of propofol alone. It shortened the awaken time

enhanced the anesthetic effects and should be extended in the clinic.
