Allows tailoring anesthetic choice to induction versus emergence priority; extends RCT data on propofol-sevoflurane timing in elective surgery.
Does sevoflurane-nitrous oxide improve anesthetic induction, maintenance, and recovery characteristics compared to propofol-nitrous oxide in adult patients undergoing elective surgical procedures?
Sevoflurane provides faster emergence but slower induction and intubation compared to propofol for elective procedures of 1-3 hours.
Jellish et al. (1996) studied this question.
