Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Rapidity of emergence from anesthesia with sevoflurane or isoflurane].
Sevoflurane, a new anesthetic agent recently introduced in Italy, is characterized by a low coefficient of distribution blood/gas that is associated both quick narcosis and fast emergence from anesthesia. Aim of this study is the comparison between two different anesthetic methods in patients submitted to general, gynecological and orthopedical surgical operations. ⋯ On the basis of the results obtained, the conclusion is drawn that sevoflurane is more rapidly eliminated than isoflurane, but both give a good cardiocirculatory performance.
