Randomized Controlled Trial
Similar recovery from bispectral index-titrated isoflurane and sevoflurane anesthesia after outpatient gynecological surgery.
To test the hypothesis that the recovery of gynecological day-case patients is equally fast after isoflurane and sevoflurane anesthesia, when administration of the inhaled agent is adjusted by monitoring the bispectral index (BIS). ⋯ Isoflurane and sevoflurane are equally acceptable maintenance anesthetics in terms of the speed and quality of recovery in gynecological ambulatory surgery patients when the dose of the inhaled agent is adjusted to achieve a BIS between 50 and 60.
