Depth of anesthesia by Narcotrend ® and postoperative characteristics in children undergoing cardiac surgery under extracorporeal circulation: a retrospective comparison of two anesthetic regimens.

CONCLUSION: In children undergoing cardiac surgery in our department, the use of sevoflurane-balanced anesthesia during cardiopulmonary bypass showed no superiority of inhalational agents over total intravenous anesthesia with opioids and benzodiazepines preventing phases of superficial anesthesia, but a marked advantage for the postoperative ventilation time compared with total intravenous anesthesia.
