Article Synopsis
- Scientists wanted to find out if propofol is better than sevoflurane at reducing pain during surgery.
- They studied 60 adult patients who were having laparoscopic surgery and used either propofol or sevoflurane to put them to sleep.
- The results showed that both anesthetics were about the same at blocking pain, but sevoflurane had a slightly better effect after a specific pain test.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has markedly increased delays in oncologic surgeries because of the virus's impact on traditional anesthetic management. Novel protocols, developed to protect patients and medical professionals, have altered the ways and instances in which general anesthesia (GA) can be safely performed. To reduce virus exposure related to aerosol-generating procedures, it is now recommended to avoid GA when feasible and promote regional anesthesia instead.
