Why the study?
Does volatile anaesthesia improve postoperative indices of cardiac function compared with total intravenous anaesthesia in patients undergoing open abdominal aortic surgery?
Does volatile anaesthesia improve postoperative indices of cardiac function compared with total intravenous anaesthesia in patients undergoing open abdominal aortic surgery?
Volatile anaesthesia does not improve postoperative echocardiographic indices of cardiac function compared to total intravenous anaesthesia in patients undergoing open abdominal aortic surgery.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Either anaesthetic approach is acceptable for cardiac function; confirms no echocardiographic superiority of volatile over total intravenous anaesthesia in aortic surgery.
Lindholm et al. (2014) studied this question.
