General anesthesia versus sedation for endovascular thrombectomy: Meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis of randomized controlled trials

Structured PICO

Does general anesthesia improve outcomes compared to sedation in patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke?

Population

Patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke

Intervention

General anesthesia

Comparator

Sedation

Outcome

Efficacy of recanalization and cerebral function

General anesthesia for endovascular thrombectomy improves recanalization but does not improve cerebral function and increases pulmonary infection risk compared to sedation.

Abstract

General anesthesia enhances the efficacy of recanalization without no improvement in cerebral function, while concurrently increasing the susceptibility to pulmonary infection among patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke.
