Randomized Controlled Trial
Length of postanesthetic care unit stay in elderly patients after general anesthesia: a randomized controlled trial comparing desflurane and sevoflurane.
The purpose of this study was to compare the length of postanesthetic care unit (PACU) stay and recovery profiles of elderly patients after general anesthesia between sevoflurane and desflurane. ⋯ Desflurane was more associated with a faster early recovery (time to open the eyes and follow commands) than sevoflurane in elderly patients after general anesthesia. However, the length of PACU stay was similar in both groups.
