Effectiveness of high-flow inhalation anesthesia technique using isoflurane compared to low-flow inhalation anesthesia technique using sevoflurane and isoflurane in terms of cost and safety

Low-flow sevoflurane compared with low-flow isoflurane anesthesia in patients with stable renal insufficiency.

BACKGROUND Sevoflurane is degraded to compound A (CpA) by carbon dioxide absorbents containing strong base. CpA is nephrotoxic in rats. Patient exposure to CpA is increased with low fresh gas flow rates, use of Baralyme, and high sevoflurane concentrations. CpA formation during low-flow and closed circuit sevoflurane anesthesia had no significant renal effects in surgical patients with normal r...

hemodynamic parameters of low-flow isoflurane and low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia during controlled ventilation with laryngeal mask airway

results the mean heart rate values were significantly less in the sevoflurane group (p value < 0.05) at 25 minutes after the surgery. the mean blood pressure in the isoflurane group was significantly higher compared with the sevoflurane group in 10, 20 and 30 minutes after the surgery (p values = 0.0131, 0.0373 and 0.0028, respectively). these differences were clinically unimportant because hea...

Hemodynamic Parameters of Low-Flow Isoflurane and Low-Flow Sevoflurane Anesthesia During Controlled Ventilation With Laryngeal Mask Airway

BACKGROUND Nowadays laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is popular as one of the best choices for airway management. Low-flow anesthesia has some advantages like lower pollution, hemodynamic stability and cost effectiveness. Volatile anesthetics are widely used for anesthesia maintenance during operations. Sevoflurane has more hemodynamic stability compared to isoflurane, but there are few studies comp...

Coupling of local cerebral blood flow to local cerebral glucose utilization during isoflurane and sevoflurane anesthesia.

The effect of isoflurane anesthesia on memory

Memory and learning are considered as the most complicated and important processes of behavioral sciences. On the other hand, considering the wide .and progressively increasing applications of anesthetic agents all over the world, it is of great importance to have a reasonable knowledge regarding their effects on the memory process and its retrieval. The main purpose of this study was to evalua...
