Dr. Omais Ali Beigh, Dr Basharat Ahad

Abstract :

 OBJECTIVES: To compare the emergence quality of desflurane versus sevoflurane in patients undergoing general anaesthesia.

 

METHODOLOGY: 40 patients of age between 14–50 years, belonging to ASA grade I and II, scheduled for elective surgeries under general anaesthesia were included in the study.

Patients belonging to ASA grade III and IV, those scheduled for emergency surgeries and patients with anticipated difficult airway were excluded from the study.

The patients were randomised into two groups of 20 each, Group–S and Group–D.

Patients in group–S received Sevoflurane as inhalation agent.

Patients in group–D received Desflurane as inhalation agent

Emergence quality with included restlessness, nausea/vomiting, drowsiness, respiratory depression, headache, laryngospasm

 

RESULTS:

Complications like restlessness, nausea/vomiting, drowsiness, respiratory depression, headache and laryngospasm even though present slightly more in sevoflurane group but statistically insignificant.

 

CONCLUSION:

In comparison of both desflurane and sevoflurane we found that emergence quality was slightly better with Desflurane group as compared to Sevoflurane group but statistically insignificant in our study.
