Cost-effectiveness of a transition from volatile anaesthesia to total intravenous anaesthesia to reduce carbon footprint: an economic modelling study. [PDF]

Anaesthesia
Summary Introduction The UK NHS is committed to reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2040. Volatile anaesthetic agents are potent greenhouse gases and alternative intravenous methods exist. We aimed to predict the cost‐effectiveness of a transition from volatile anaesthesia to total intravenous anaesthesia to reduce carbon emissions. Methods A general

Comparing isoflurane and desflurane: A prospective randomised blinded clinical trial in horses undergoing elective surgery. [PDF]

Vet Rec
Abstract Background The recovery period is associated with the greatest risk of injury for horses undergoing anaesthesia. Recovery quality and duration can be influenced by the volatile agent. Methods This prospective, randomised blinded clinical investigation recruited 101 healthy client‐owned horses undergoing elective surgery at one UK equine ...

Effect of entropy-guided low-flow desflurane anaesthesia on laryngeal mask airway removal time in children undergoing elective ophthalmic surgery – A prospective, randomised, comparative study

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2019
Background and Aims: In children, entropy-guided titration of isoflurane and sevoflurane leads to faster recovery after anaesthesia. However, role of entropy in recovery following desflurane anaesthesia is not known.

Comparison of the sevoflurane versus desflurane anaesthesia on the recovery of airway reflexes and cognitive function: An original research

Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, 2023
Background and Objectives: Sevoflurane and desflurane virtually equally dissolve in blood gases, yet current research suggests that desflurane helps in a quick return of airway reflex than sevoflurane however the return of cognitive activity fluctuates ...

Desflurane - Revisited

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2012
The search for an ideal inhalational general anesthetic agent continues. Desflurane, which was recently introduced in the Indian market, possesses favorable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties and is closer to the definition of an ideal agent. It offers the advantage of precise control over depth of anesthesia along with a rapid, predictable,

Desflurane impairs hippocampal learning on day 1 of exposure: a prospective laboratory study in rats

BMC Anesthesiology, 2019
Background Quick and complete recovery of cognitive function after general anesthesia is desirable, particularly for working-age patients. Desflurane is less likely to have long-term effects than older-generation inhalational anesthetics, however, its ...

The effect of intravenous labetalol administration on hemodynamic responses during desflurane inhalation [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2012
BackgroundInspired concentrations of desflurane ≥ 1 minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration (MAC) have been related to sympathetic stimulation such as hypertension and tachycardia.

Greenhouse gas reduction in anaesthesia practice: a departmental environmental strategy

BMJ Open Quality, 2022
Sustainability interventions were implemented at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital (RBWH) following identification of inhaled anaesthetic gases as a target for reducing medical carbon emissions. This quality improvement study assessed and evaluated

Aversion to Desflurane and Isoflurane in Sprague-Dawley Rats (Rattus norvegicus)

Animals, 2020
Carbon dioxide and isoflurane are widely used for killing rats, yet may not truly achieve “euthanasia”, because they elicit aversion. The inhalant anesthetic desflurane is faster acting than isoflurane, representing a potential refinement.

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 ...
