Efficiency of Isoflurane and Sevoflurane on Length of Hospitalization and Emergence Time

Introduction: The following report has described the time of hospitalization as not distinct between isoflurane and sevoflurane. However, further plausible outcomes of employing soluble volatile anaesthetics that have been deferred emergence from anaesthesia and prolonged stays in the “postanesthesia care unit (PACU)”. Furthermore, this research paper has likened isoflurane and sevoflurane to emergence moment and PACU time. Aims and objectives: The study aims to determine the efficiency of isoflurane and sevoflurane on length of hospitalization and emergence time. Methods: This prospective study analyzed data from 80 patients, who underwent non-cardiac surgery at a hospital from April 2022 to March 2023. Demographic and morphometric data were collected from computerized anesthesia records. Patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit, had MAC percentage greater than 0.3, or skipped the PACU were excluded. Descriptive statistics and standard differences were used to compare the isoflurane and sevoflurane groups. Inclusion criteria were limited to patients receiving either isoflurane or sevoflurane anesthesia, with exclusion criteria for certain medical conditions or multiple anesthetics. Results: The study found that there is a significant difference between the two groups in terms of ASA physical status (p=0.004). The presence of metastatic cancer is significantly different between the isoflurane and sevoflurane groups (p=0.041). Other factors such as body mass index (BMI), patient age, duration of surgery, gender, and various medical conditions do not show significant differences between the two groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: The study has concluded that isoflurane can be used in most cases in PACU as it has many beneficial characteristics like longer emergence time of the patients. ; Introduction: The following report has described the time of hospitalization as not distinct between isoflurane and sevoflurane.
