Abstract
Background
The patient's experience of their postoperative recovery is an important perioperative outcome, with the 15-item quality of recovery scale (QoR-15) recommended as a standardised outcomes measure. Desflurane has a faster emergence from anaesthesia compared with other volatile anaesthetics, but it is uncertain whether this translates to better subjective quality of recovery. The hypothesis for this study is that patients receiving desflurane for maintenance of anaesthesia would have better postoperative quality of recovery than patients receiving isoflurane.
Methods
Male and female adult patients undergoing ophthalmological surgery under general anaesthesia were randomly allocated to receive desflurane or isoflurane for maintenance of anaesthesia. The primary outcome was to compare postoperative QoR-15 scores. Secondary outcomes included comparing preoperative QoR-15 scores, volatile agent consumption, and time spent in the recovery room.
Results
Data from 164 patients were analysed (80 desflurane, 84 isoflurane). Median (Q1, Q3) postoperative QoR-15 scores were not significantly different (desflurane: 145 [141, 148], isoflurane: 144 [139, 147], 95% confidence interval 0–3, P=0.176, minimal clinically important difference=8). Median (Q1, Q3) volatile agent consumption was 15.4 (12.5, 19.3) ml hr−1 in the desflurane group, and 7.4 (5.9, 9.7) ml hr−1 in the isoflurane group. Median (Q1, Q3) time spent in the recovery room was significantly shorter in the desflurane group (desflurane: 18 [13, 23]; isoflurane: 25 [19, 32], 95% confidence interval −10 to 5, P<0.001).
Conclusions
This study found no difference in quality of recovery between patients who received desflurane or isoflurane for maintenance of general anaesthesia during ophthalmological surgery. A shorter time in the recovery room was not associated with improved QoR-15 scores.
