Additional Factors Regarding Clinical Outcomes of General Anesthesia and Conscious Sedation for Acute Ischemic Stroke
To the Editor Simonsen et al concluded that general anesthesia (GA) did not influence infarct growth compared with conscious sedation in endovascular-treated patients with acute stroke. This is an interesting study that addresses topical questions. However, we would like to point out some limitations.

Additional Factors Regarding Clinical Outcomes of General Anesthesia and Conscious Sedation for Acute Ischemic Stroke —Reply
In Reply We thank Chabanne and Futier for the relevant question concerning ventilator parameters in the General or Local Anesthesia in Intra Arterial Therapy (GOLIATH) trial. Unfortunately, it was not possible for us to obtain periprocedural arterial blood gas parameters because of resource constraints. However, we have recently reported the end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) levels in the general anesthesia (GA) arm (4.4 kPa; interquartile range, 4.2-4.8 kPa). Taking the normal arterial to EtCO2 gradient into account, our data indicate a normoventilation, which was the intention in the study protocol. The EtCO2 levels were ...
