[Does desflurane have advantages in comparison with sevoflurane at the planned intracranial interventions]

The aim of the study was to compare the effect of sevoflurane and desflurane on the rate of patient awakening from anaesthesia, recovery of orientation, memory and concentration, and the incidence of side effects after elective surgery on the brain. The study included 42 patients, divided into two equal groups. In the first as the main anaesthetic used sevoflurane, in the second - desflurane. Wake-up time, and extubation of recovery of consciousness after desfluranom was less than when using sevoflurane as a anesthetic by 185, 301 and 296, respectively. Time needed for orientation, memory and concentration recovery varied in 15 and 30 minutes (in the desflurane group were faster) after waking up with full recovery in the preoperative level after 2 hours. Using desflurane was not accompanied by deterioration in the operations environment and does not lead to an increase in the number of adverse postoperative phenomena.
