Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study Clinical TrialMaintenance of and recovery from anaesthesia in elderly patients. A clinical comparison between sevoflurane and isoflurane.
The goal of this multicenter, prospective, randomized clinical investigation was to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of sevoflurane and isoflurane during the maintenance of and the recovery from general anaesthesia in elderly patients. ⋯ When used in elderly patients undergoing operations of intermediate duration, sevoflurane provides a more rapid emergence from anaesthesia with a faster fulfillment of discharging criteria, and a more stable cardiovascular homeostasis than isoflurane. Renal function also appears to be equally well preserved with both anaesthetics.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study Clinical TrialMaintenance and recovery characteristics of sevoflurane anaesthesia in adult patients. A multicenter, randomized comparison with isoflurane.
The goal of the present multicenter, prospective, randomized clinical investigation was to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of sevoflurane and isoflurane during maintenance of and recovery from general anaesthesia in adult patients. ⋯ We conclude that sevoflurane, when compared to isoflurane, provides a similarly safe maintenance but allows for a more rapid emergence from general anaesthesia.
