Cerebrovascular Reactivity to Carbon Dioxide Under Anesthesia: A Qualitative Systematic Review

Conclusions: Our systematic review showed that within the clinical anesthesia concentrations, CVR-CO2 is maintained under both propofol and inhalational agents.

Therefore, we were limited by the amount and the quality of data available for this review.
