Comparative StudyAn Analysis of Anesthesia-Controlled Operating Room Time After Propofol-Based Total Intravenous Anesthesia Compared with Desflurane Anesthesia in Ophthalmic Surgery: A Retrospective Study.
Anesthetic techniques can contribute to reduction of anesthesia-controlled time to improve operating room (OR) efficiency. However, little is known about the difference in anesthesia-controlled time between propofol-based total IV anesthesia (TIVA) and desflurane anesthesia (DES) techniques for ophthalmic surgery under general anesthesia. ⋯ In our hospital, the use of TIVA reduced the mean time to extubation by at least 9% and PACU stay time by more than 1% when compared with the use of DES anesthesia for ophthalmic surgery.
