Key result
Desflurane significantly shortened the time to eye opening compared to sevoflurane (9.7 vs 14.3 minutes, p<0.05) in adult surgical patients.
Why the study?
Does desflurane improve emergence and recovery times in patients undergoing general anesthesia compared to other volatile anesthetics?
Does desflurane improve emergence and recovery times in patients undergoing general anesthesia compared to other volatile anesthetics?
Desflurane provides rapid and predictable emergence and recovery from anesthesia compared to other volatile anesthetics, making it particularly useful for obese patients, elderly patients, and prolonged surgeries.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support faster emergence with desflurane; leaves open outcome benefits in broader surgical populations.

Michiaki Yamakage (2013) conducted a review in General anesthesia (n=216). Desflurane vs. Sevoflurane was evaluated on Time to eye opening (minutes) (p=<0.05). Desflurane significantly shortened the time to eye opening compared to sevoflurane (9.7 vs 14.3 minutes, p<0.05) in adult surgical patients.
