Key result
Desflurane linked to ~5 minutes faster extubation and recovery vs sevoflurane in spinal surgery.
Why the study?
Early neurological evaluation after spinal surgery is desirable, and desflurane anesthesia may enable early recovery and detection of neurological abnormalities due to its low blood/gas partition coefficient.
Does desflurane anesthesia improve early recovery and early detection of neurological abnormality in patients undergoing spinal surgery?
Cohort (n=140)
No
Does desflurane anesthesia improve early recovery and early detection of neurological abnormality in patients undergoing spinal surgery?
Desflurane is useful for early neurological assessment after spinal surgery due to rapid recovery, though caution is needed regarding excessive movement upon awakening.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support earlier neurological assessment after spinal surgery; leaves open whether desflurane should supplant sevoflurane pending randomized trials.

Naoyuki Hirata (2015) conducted a cohort in Spinal surgery (n=140). Desflurane vs. Sevoflurane was evaluated on Time to extubation (minutes). Desflurane significantly reduced the time to extubation (6.2 vs 11.3 minutes) and recovery compared to sevoflurane in patients undergoing spinal surgery.
