COMPARISON OF EFFICACY OF SEVOFLURANE AND DESFLURANE IN SURGICAL PROCEDURES LASTING LESS THAN 120 MINUTES
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
BACKGROUND An ideal general anaesthetic should provide smooth and rapid induction, optimal surgical conditions, and rapid recovery with minimal side effects. Volatile anaesthetics allow rapid emergence from anaesthesia because of easy treatability that makes them more suitable for short surgical procedures. Aim- To compare intraoperative haemodynamic and postoperative recovery profiles between Desflurane and Sevoflurane as maintenance anaesthetic agents in patients undergoing short surgical procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a prospective randomised study that is conducted in patients undergoing short surgical procedures (duration<120 minutes). 60 patients belonging to ASA I or II scheduled for surgical procedures received Sevoflurane (30) and Desflurane (30) for maintenance of anaesthesia. Haemodynamics, recovery parameters like spontaneous eye opening, modified Aldrete score were recorded in PACU at regular time intervals. Score of 10 is considered as clear headedness and complete recovery from anaesthetic effect. RESULTS The time taken for spontaneous eye opening is shorter in desflurane group. Early recovery with clear headedness from anaesthesia is significantly faster in Desflurane as compared to Sevoflurane. CONCLUSION Desflurane produces faster emergence and early recovery from anaesthesia than Sevoflurane. Intraoperative haemodynamic parameters are similar in both Desflurane and Sevoflurane anaesthesia.
