Comparison of recovery properties of desflurane and sevoflurane according to gender differences

Background:  The aim of this study was to investigate the recovery properties of desflurane and sevoflurane in patients undergoing elective surgery, according to the gender differences. Methods:  In the study, 160 ASA class I–II patients aged between 20 and 60 years were included. The patients were...

Description
Summary:Background:  The aim of this study was to investigate the recovery properties of desflurane and sevoflurane in patients undergoing elective surgery, according to the gender differences. Methods:  In the study, 160 ASA class I–II patients aged between 20 and 60 years were included. The patients were assigned into two groups according to their gender, and these groups were randomly divided into two groups according to a selected volatile anaesthetic agent. Intraoperative bispectral index, time of postoperative achievement for end‐tidal concentrations of volatile agents to decline 50% (ET‐AA%50), time for extubation, time for eye opening and orientation, and time for bispectral index values to reach control values were recorded. Aldrete scores and error points of a delayed memory recall test were determined. Results:  Desflurane groups had a shorter ET‐AA%50 time, extubation and eye‐opening time in male and female patients compared to the sevoflurane groups, and these results were statistically significant (P
