Brain relaxation using desflurane anesthesia and total intravenous anesthesia in patients undergoing craniotomy for supratentorial tumors: a randomized controlled study

BMC Anesthesiology, 2023
Background Satisfactory brain relaxation is essential in neurosurgery. Desflurane anesthesia and propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) have different effects on cerebral hemodynamics, potentially contributing to discrepant brain relaxation ...

Developing a quality improvement project to tackle the desflurane problem

BMJ Open Quality, 2023
Anaesthesia is associated with the routine use of volatile anaesthetic agents, all of which are potent greenhouse gases in varying degrees. Desflurane, in particular, has a high global warming potential and in recent years, there has been a global ...

Effects of desflurane and sevoflurane on somatosensory-evoked and motor-evoked potential monitoring during neurosurgery: a randomized controlled trial

BMC Anesthesiology, 2021
Background Better protection can be provided during neurosurgery due to the establishment of somatosensory-evoked potential (SEP) and motor-evoked potential (MEP) monitoring technologies.

Greenhouse gas emissions associated with anaesthetic gases in Australia, 2002-2022: a retrospective descriptive analysis. [PDF]

Med J Aust
Abstract Objectives To assess changes in greenhouse gas emission rates associated with the use of anaesthetic gases (desflurane, sevoflurane, and isoflurane) in Australian health care during 2002–2022, overall and by state or territory and hospital type.

Desflurane is risk factor for postoperative delirium in older patients’ independent from intraoperative burst suppression duration

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2023
Background Postoperative Delirium (POD) is the most frequent neurocognitive complication after general anesthesia in older patients. The development of POD is associated with prolonged periods of burst suppression activity in the intraoperative ...

Sevoflurane and Desflurane Exposure Enhanced Cell Proliferation and Migration in Ovarian Cancer Cells via miR-210 and miR-138 Downregulation

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Inhalational anaesthetics were previously reported to promote ovarian cancer malignancy, but underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The present study aims to investigate the role of sevoflurane- or desflurane-induced microRNA (miRNA) changes on ovarian ...

Trends in greenhouse gas emissions from volatile anaesthetics in 41 countries: 2013-2023. [PDF]

Anaesthesia
Summary Introduction Inhalational anaesthetics contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, leading to regulatory restrictions in some countries. This study analysed time trends of greenhouse gas emissions directly attributable to the use of volatile anaesthetic agents in 41 countries.

Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia is associated with better survival than desflurane anesthesia in glioblastoma surgery

PLoS ONE, 2021
Background Previous research has shown that anesthetic techniques can influence patient outcomes following cancer surgery. However, the effects of anesthesia in patients undergoing glioblastoma surgery are still not known.

Sevoflurane and Desflurane Exposures Following Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Confer Multifaceted Protection against Delayed Cerebral Ischemia

Biomedicines, 2021
Numerous studies have demonstrated the ability of isoflurane conditioning to provide multifaceted protection against aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)-associated delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI); however, preclinical studies have not yet examined ...
