Isoflurane accelerates early psychomotor recovery versus propofol in day-care surgery; extends evidence for volatile maintenance in ambulatory anesthesia.
Does isoflurane maintenance improve psychomotor recovery compared to propofol maintenance in patients undergoing day-care surgery?
Isoflurane maintenance is associated with quicker psychomotor recovery compared to propofol maintenance following day-care anaesthesia.
