Implication

Pilot study shows combined regional and general anesthesia improves hemodynamic stability and comfort in carotid patients, indicating a need for further research.

Key Points

Combined regional and general anesthesia resulted in significantly better hemodynamic stability during carotid endarterectomy.
Group 1 had a mean arterial pressure significantly higher than Group 2 at key time points (T 1 and T 2), with P < .001.
Observational analysis comparing 28 patients revealed better intraoperative comfort in the combined anesthesia group, P = .0053.
These findings highlight the potential benefits of combined anesthesia, though further studies are needed to confirm safety and efficacy.
