The comparative effects of desflurane and isoflurane on intraoperative cerebral hemodynamics, cardiovascular changes, and post-operative recovery in patients undergoing craniotomy for supratentorial tumors

Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022
Background: Preserving hemodynamic stability, providing a slack brain, and enabling early recovery are the main criteria of neuroanesthesia. The most commonly used volatile anesthetic for neurosurgeries is isoflurane due to its favorable effects on ...

Desflurane and sevoflurane differentially affect activity of the subthalamic nucleus in Parkinson's disease.

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 2020
BACKGROUND Desflurane and sevoflurane are commonly used during inhalational anaesthesia, but few studies have investigated their effects on deep cerebral neuronal activity.

Cost‐effectiveness of a transition from volatile anaesthesia to total intravenous anaesthesia to reduce carbon footprint: an economic modelling study

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
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

The effect of desflurane on neuronal communication at a central synapse [PDF]

, 2015
Although general anesthetics are thought to modify critical neuronal functions, their impact on neuronal communication has been poorly examined. We have investigated the effect induced by desflurane, a clinically used general anesthetic, on information ...

Analgesic effects of alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists in equine medicine: systemic, spinal, and local applications

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists provide analgesia when used as sole agents but can also be used in combination with other drugs for their additive and potentially synergistic effects. Further, because of their effects on blood flow, alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists act to extend and perhaps intensify the effects of drugs, such as local ...

A randomised prospective comparison of equilibration point and changing gas composition during low-flow anaesthesia with sevoflurane vs desflurane

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2019
Background and Aims: Safety and economy are the main concerns while using low- flow anaesthesia with newer inhalational agents. The main objective of this study was to use and compare 'equilibration time' of sevoflurane and desflurane after change-over ...

Bispectral index and their relation with consciousness of the patients who receive desflurane or sevoflurane anesthesia during wake-up test for spinal surgery for correction [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2012
BackgroundWake-up tests may be necessary during surgery for kypho-scoliosis to ensure that spinal function remains intact. It is difficult to predict the time when patients can respond to a verbal command. We evaluated the effectiveness of the bispectral

Flow‐controlled expiration improves gas exchange in anaesthetised horses undergoing orthopaedic surgery

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Flow‐controlled expiration (FLEX) has been shown to significantly enhance oxygenation in horses under laboratory conditions. Objective This study aims to corroborate these findings by evaluating the effects of FLEX on gas exchange in a randomised clinical trial involving a large population of clinical horses undergoing orthopaedic ...

Can modern infrared analyzers replace gas chromatography to measure anesthetic vapor concentrations? [PDF]

, 2008
Background Gas chromatography (GC) has often been considered the most accurate method to measure the concentration of inhaled anesthetic vapors. However, infrared (IR) gas analysis has become the clinically preferred monitoring technique because it ...

Comparison of the Effects of Sevoflurane and Desflurane on Endothelial Glycocalyx in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: A Randomized, Double-Blind Trial

Turkish Journal of Anaesthesiology and Reanimation
Objective: Various enzymes, reactive oxygen species, inflammatory conditions, and major surgeries cause endothelial glycocalyx breakdown. Inhalation of anaesthetic agents may have protective effects on the endothelium.
