Assessment of Induction, Recovery, Agitation upon Awakening, and Consumption with the Use of two Brands of Sevoflurane for Ambulatory Anesthesia

Abstract

There was no difference between groups regarding the duration of the procedure, the anesthesia, and the parameters evaluated at induction. In Group 1, the number of children who required additional bolus of sevoflurane for anesthesia maintenance was higher than in Group 2 (p<0.05). The fraction of inspired and expired sevoflurane at the end of the procedure was lower in Group 1 (p<0.001). Upon awakening, BIS value was lower in Group 1 (p=0.045). Other parameters evaluated in recovery showed no difference between groups. The use of anesthesia was similar between groups.

Comparative characteristics of original and non-original sevoflurane in urological operations in children: a prospective study results

“…C. R. Tomal и соавт. также выявили меньшую глубину анестезии с применением неоригинального препарата при осмотре глазного дна у детей -пациентов онкогематологического профиля [22].…”

“…Вода же служит ингибитором распада севофлурана [24]. Предполагается, что различия в упаковке и использование стекла и алюминия повышают вероятность образования токсичных веществ, включая кислоты Льюиса, и обусловливают различия в течении анестезии [22,25]. Однако есть и данные о том, что существенные различия в течении анестезии не зависят от того, используется ли оригинальный или неоригинальный препарат [26].…”

Study of Peri-Operative Complications in Asymptomatic Smokers Posted for Day Care Surgery

“…This in day care surgery adds to the burden of keeping patients under observation for a longer duration in the recovery room and prolongs the discharge process. [17][18][19] We also dichotomised the exposure to cigarette smoking to more than 15-pack years' exposure and less than 15-pack years' exposure. Patients who had higher exposure had 1.67 times relative risk for desaturation, 1.56 times higher risk for bronchospasm, 2.54 times risk for tachycardia following intubation and 2.14 times risk for developing thick and copious secretions post extubation than that of less than 15-pack years.…”

Emergence agitation prevention in paediatric ambulatory surgery: A comparison between intranasal Dexmedetomidine and Clonidine

“…[ 1 ] Among all inhalational anesthetics, sevoflurane is considered an agent of choice for induction and maintenance of day care anesthesia in children and enjoys wide acceptance among pediatric anesthesiologists. [ 2 ] The occurrence of EA in children after sevoflurane anesthesia is common, with an incidence ranging between 10% and 80%. [ 3 ]…”
