Retrospective cohort study observes inhalational anesthetic dosing in older adults with cannabis use, highlighting potential impacts on geriatric surgical care.
Cannabis use is associated with higher intravenous anesthetic administration. Similar data regarding inhalational anesthetics are limited. With rising cannabis use prevalence, understanding any potential relationship with inhalational anesthetic dosing is crucial. Average intraoperative isoflurane or sevoflurane minimum alveolar concentration equivalents between older adults with and without cannabis use were compared.
