A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN ISOFLURANE AND SEVOFLURANE IN PEDIATRIC ANAESTHESIA WITH LARYNGEAL MASK AIRWAY

Dr. Ravi Anand

Abstract :

Aims and objectives: Our study compared Isoflurane with sevoflurane maintenance anesthesia in terms of respiratory events and the emergence characteristics in children with a laryngeal mask airway. Methodology: This randomized controlled trial evaluated 40 children undergoing strabismus surgery allocated to Isoflurane or sevoflurane groups. After inducing anesthesia with sevoflurane and thiopental sodium 5  mg  kg−1, the anesthetic agent was changed to Isoflurane in the Isoflurane group, whereas sevoflurane was continued in the sevoflurane group. Results: The overall respiratory events did not differ between the groups. However, the incidence of mild desaturation (90% ≤ SpO2 < 97%) was significantly higher in the Isoflurane group (7%) than in the sevoflurane group (0%) (P = .007). Emergence was significantly faster in the Isoflurane group (6.6  3.9 vs 8.0  2.2 min, P = .003).
