Total Intravenous Versus Volatile Induction and Maintenance of Anesthesia in Elective Carotid Endarterectomy: Effects on Cerebral Oxygenation and Cognitive Functions
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is effective for the prevention of stroke, yet can be associated with a postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) that may be affected by the type of anesthesia. The aim of the study was to compare the effects of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol to volatile induction and maintenance of anesthesia (VIMA) with sevoflurane on cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO2) and POCD.
