Desflurane Versus Propofol in the Sitting Position

August 25, 2013 updated by: Hyun Jeong Kwak, Gachon University Gil Medical Center

International Review Board of Gachon University Gil Hospital

The investigators hypothesized that both propofol and desflurane would decrease the regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) but propofol is likely to reduce rSO2 more than sevoflurane when patients are raised to the sitting position.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The investigators hypothesized that both propofol and desflurane would decrease the rSO2 but propofol is likely to reduce rSO2 more than sevoflurane when patients are raised to the sitting position. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of desflurane and propofol on rSO2 values during the beach chair position for shoulder arthroscopy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Desflurane
anaesthesia was induced with thiopental sodium 2 mg kg-1, alfentanil 10 μg kg-1 and rocuronium 0.6 mg kg-1. Anesthetic maintenance by desflurane
anaesthesia was maintained by desflurane 4-7vol%
Other Names:
  • Des
administration of alfentanil 10 μg kg-1 for anesthetic induction
Other Names:
  • alf
administration of rocuronium 0.6 mg kg-1 for anesthetic induction
Other Names:
  • roc
Active Comparator: propofol
anaesthesia was induced with the effect-site concentration of propofol 5.0 μg ml-1, alfentanil 10 μg kg-1, and rocuronium 0.6 mg kg-1. A commercially available target controlled infusion (TCI) pump (Orchestra®, Fresenius Vial, France) was used and the pharmacokinetic set used to calculate target effect-site concentrations for propofol was Schnider and colleagues' model
administration of alfentanil 10 μg kg-1 for anesthetic induction
Other Names:
  • alf
administration of rocuronium 0.6 mg kg-1 for anesthetic induction
Other Names:
  • roc
anaesthesia was induced with the effect-site concentration of propofol 5.0 μg ml-1 mainly.
