Background: Monitoring sedation depth with appropriate sedative choice can reduce over sedation and associated side effects. Objectives: To compare Desflurane (Des) vs. Propofol (P) sedation with regards to, haemodynamics, recovery profiles, side effects and costs. Design: A prospective randomized hospital based comparative study. Setting: In a single centre between May 2012 and December 2014. Patients: Sixty mechanically ventilated liver recipients were assigned randomly to receive postoperative sedation either with inhalational Des in air/oxygen 1 litre min-1 or intravenous P 4 mg/kg/hr. Interventions: Recovery time and response to eye opening was recorded. Memorization of five words, Trieger dot test, and digit symbol substitution tests were applied. The Patient State Index (PSI) by SEDLine Sedation Monitor (Masimo, Irvin, CA) was used to target adequate depth of sedation (50-75) i.. View More»
