Recovery profile of desflurane with air or nitrous oxide in patients undergoing general anesthesia - A prospective cohort study. [PDF]
Background and Aims: Desflurane helps in prompt awakening when discontinued. Since desflurane has a lesser blood: gas solubility than nitrous oxide, we hypothesized that use of air with desflurane would result in a rapid recovery compared to desflurane ...

Cerebrovascular reactivity to hypercapnia during sevoflurane or desflurane anesthesia in rats [PDF]
Background Hypercapnia causes dilation of cerebral vessels and increases cerebral blood flow, resulting in increased intracranial pressure. Sevoflurane is reported to preserve cerebrovascular carbon dioxide reactivity.

In Defense of Desflurane: Is There a Specific Role for Desflurane in Neuroanesthesia?
AbstractIt is challenging to counter the widespread criticism of desflurane as the volatile anesthetic agent with the most significant greenhouse gas effect, one which is likely to exacerbate global warming. In 2022, the journal “Anaesthesia” published guidelines for minimizing the impact of anesthetic gases on global warming, which the anesthetic ...

Knockdown of RUVBL2 improves hnRNPA2/B1-stress granules dynamics to inhibit perioperative neurocognitive disorders in aged mild cognitive impairment rats. [PDF]
Knockdown of RUVBL2 expression contributes to the transition of hnRNPA2/B1‐SGs from the hydrogel phase to the liquid phase, accelerating their disassembly. Abstract Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) is common in aged mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients and can accelerate the progression to dementia.

Effect of desflurane anesthesia on flash visual evoked potential monitoring in patients undergoing spine surgery: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial. [PDF]
Background Flash visual evoked potentials (FVEPs) are a reliable method for protecting visual function during spine surgery in prone position. However, the popularization and application of FVEPs remain limited due to the unclear influence of various ...

The target concentration of remifentanil to suppress the hemodynamic response to endotracheal intubation during inhalational induction with desflurane [PDF]
BackgroundAnesthesia induction with desflurane is troublesome because of the frequent sympathetic hyperactivity during desflurane administration. We thought that a low concentration of desflurane combined with a target-controlled infusion (TCI) of ...

Propofol prevents further prolongation of QT interval during liver transplantation
Here, we aimed to compare the effects of two anesthetic methods (desflurane inhalation anesthesia vs. propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA)] on corrected QT interval (QTc) values during living donor liver transplantation.

Time course of end-tidal desflurane concentration during delivery and elimination according to the type and location of filters in a semi-closed circuit system [PDF]
BackgroundThe aim of this study was to determine whether the end-tidal concentration of desflurane would be affected by a breathing circuit system filter attached at two different positions in anesthetic breathing circuit systems.MethodsAn artificial ...
