Blood glucose level in neurosurgery. Is it different between isoflurane and desflurane anesthesia?

Aim: A tight control of blood glucose is critical. We compare blood glucose level between isoflurane and desflurane in neurosurgical patients for further application.

Methods: One hundred and eight patients scheduled for neurosurgery under general anesthesia were recruited and divided into two groups; fentanyl-isoflurane-nitrous oxide based and fentanyl-desflurane-nitrous oxide based randomly.
