Brief Summary

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

Because Propofol is the primary "anesthetic agent," and inhalational agents remain in trace quantities at the end of the procedure Sevoflurane initiated intravenous anesthesia (SIIVA) or not present at all Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) it is likely that different criteria may be predictive of extubation success in these patients compared to inhalational anesthesia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is because these anesthetic regimens have different pharmacologic mechanisms of actions, and therefore interact with central nervous system in different ways leading to potentially the need for different extubation criteria in patients receiving TIVA or SIIVA. Additionally, intravenous agents likely have less of an effect on airway reflexes and ventilation at light levels of anesthesia. This study is proposing an observational study to examine the predictive value of various extubation criteria in the setting of SIIVA and TIVA.

Study Groups

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

Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA)

TIVA is achieved without inhalational agents and may be performed in cases where patients have an intravenous line in place prior to induction of anesthesia

Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA)

Intervention Type OTHER

TIVA anesthetic -no inhalational gases for surgery

Sevoflurane initiated intravenous anesthesia (SIIVA)

SIIVA is a modification of TIVA in the setting where a patient does not tolerate the insertion of an intravenous line prior to induction of anesthesia. The patient undergoes induction of anesthesia with sevoflurane and transition to Propofol IV anesthesia for maintenance once the intravenous line is in place and discontinues the inhalational agent, sevoflurane.

Sevoflurane initiated intravenous anesthesia (SIIVA)

Intervention Type OTHER

SIIVA - sevoflurane anesthetic gases for surgery
