May allow faster neurological assessment after carotid endarterectomy without apparent added cardiovascular risk; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.
Do desflurane or sevoflurane improve recovery times without increasing cardiovascular risk compared to isoflurane in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy?
Desflurane and sevoflurane allow for faster neurological assessment after carotid endarterectomy compared to isoflurane, without increasing peri-operative cardiovascular risk.
