COMPARISON OF EMERGENCE AND RECOVERY CHARACTERISTICS OF SEVOFLURANE AND DESFLURANE IN PEDIATRIC AMBULATORY SURGERY.

BACKGROUND A big number ofshort-time surgery performed in one-day pediatric department requires the permanent search of an ideal anesthetic for the maximum quickly children ' take home with the minimum ofpostoperation complications. THE AIM to compare the emergence and recovery characteristics ofsevoflurane and desflurane maintenance ofanesthe- sia in children undergoing ambulatory surgery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION There were no significant differences among the two groups in hemodynamic parameters, the incidence of postoperative vomiting and cough. But desflurane maintenance of anesthesia resulted in the fastest early emergence from anesthesia, the lack of incidence ofpostoperative agitation compared with sevoflurane.
