Why the study?
Volatile anaesthetics cause hypotension via central, autonomic, myocardial, and vascular smooth muscle effects, prompting a comparison of sevoflurane and isoflurane effects on pulse rate and mean blood pressure during general anaesthesia.
Does sevoflurane compared to isoflurane improve hemodynamic stability (pulse rate and mean blood pressure) in patients undergoing general anesthesia?
Population
30 patients aged 7-68 years undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia
Comparison
Sevoflurane vs isoflurane
Design
Two-centre prospective study

Supports similar hemodynamic profiles with either agent; leaves open need for RCTs to confirm equivalence.
Does sevoflurane compared to isoflurane improve hemodynamic stability (pulse rate and mean blood pressure) in patients undergoing general anesthesia?
Sevoflurane and isoflurane demonstrate comparable hemodynamic stability regarding pulse rate and mean blood pressure during general anesthesia.
