A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN DESFLURANE AND SEVOFLURANE IN PEDIATRIC ANAESTHESIA WITH LARYNGEAL MASK AIRWAY
Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Aims and objectives: Our study compared desflurane with sevoflurane maintenance anesthesia in terms of respiratory events and the emergence characteristics in children with a laryngeal mask airway. Methodology: This randomized controlled trial evaluated 200 children undergoing strabismus surgery allocated to desflurane or sevoflurane groups. After inducing anesthesia with sevoflurane and thiopental sodium 5 mg kg−1, the anesthetic agent was changed to desflurane in the desflurane group, whereas sevoflurane was continued in the sevoflurane group. Results: The overall respiratory events did not differ between the groups. However, the incidence of mild desaturation (90% ≤ SpO2 < 97%) was significantly higher in the desflurane group (7%) than in the sevoflurane group (0%) (P = .007). Emergence was significantly faster in the desflurane group (6.6 ± 3.9 vs 8.0 ± 2.2 min, P = .003).
