Randomized Controlled TrialPostoperative pain and analgesic requirements after anesthesia with sevoflurane, desflurane or propofol.
General anesthetics may have nociceptive actions that affect postoperative pain. In studies evaluating postoperative pain, the effect of general anesthetics on analgesic requirements has not been considered except for one recent study suggesting that propofol anesthesia provides better analgesia after surgery than isoflurane. ⋯ Morphine consumption and pain 24 h postoperatively did not differ among the sevoflurane, desflurane, and propofol groups.
