Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Currently, total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and inhaled anesthesia are both commonly used for transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma resection. However, optimal choice for anesthesia maintenance in transsphenoidal surgery remains unclear. Previous studies focusing on this question provided fragmentary assessment and controversial results. The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate whether propofol and sevoflurane have different effect on post-anesthetic recovery after transsphenoidal resection of pituitary adenoma.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

sevoflurane

Anesthesia is maintained with sevoflurane.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

sevoflurane

Intervention Type DRUG

Anesthesia is maintained with inhalation of sevoflurane. The concentration of sevoflurane was adjusted to maintain anesthetic depth, aiming for a bispectral index of 40-60.

propofol

Anesthesia is maintained with continuous infusion of propofol.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

propofol

Intervention Type DRUG

Anesthesia is maintained with an effect-site target-controlled infusion of propofol (2-6ug/ml) based on the Marsh mode. The concentration of propofol was adjusted to maintain anesthetic depth, aiming for a bispectral index of 40-60.
