Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  effect of balanced anaesthesia with desflurane on postoperative pulmonary function test  A preoperative pulse-oximetry and spirometry was done in thirty patients undergoing mastoid surgery. And they were allocated into group B (balanced anesthesia with desflurane). In this group, anaesthesia was induced with propofol, rocuronium and fentanyl. Maintenance of anesthesia was done with desflurane ,nitrous oxide in oxygen. Postoperatively pulse-oximetry and spirometry was done at 1, 3 and 24 hour after extubation. 
Intervention  total intravenous anaesthesia  A preoperative pulse-oximetry and spirometry was done in thirty patients undergoing mastoid surgery. And they were allocated into group T (TIVA). In this group, anaesthesia was induced with propofol, rocuronium and fentanyl. Maintenance of anesthesia in group T with propofol and fentanyl infusion. Postoperatively pulse-oximetry and spirometry was done at 1, 3 and 24 hour after extubation

Brief Summary   A decrease in respiratory parameters in the immediate postoperative period has
been found both after general and regional anaesthesia.Propofol decreases upper airway tone
unlike the volatile anaesthetics and there is a lesser incidence of coughing in patients
receiving total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol as compared to balanced
anesthesia withdesflurane. Since coughing is similar to a vital capacity manoeuvre and may
be effective in reducing atelectasis postoperatively.
Material and Method The study was a prospective, randomised, controlled trial to
investigate whether balanced anaesthesia using desflurane and total intravenous anesthesia
(TIVA) withpropofol, have different effects on the postoperative impairment of respiratory
function after general anesthesia in patients for up to twenty four hours after a peripheral
surgery.
A preoperative pulse-oximetry and spirometry was done in sixty patients undergoing mastoid
surgery. And they were allocated into 2 groups of thirty each: Group B (balanced anesthesia
with desflurane) and Group T (TIVA). In both the groups, anaesthesia was induced with
propofol, rocuronium and fentanyl. Maintenance of anesthesia in group B was done with
desflurane ,nitrous oxide in oxygen; and in group T with propofol and fentanyl infusion.
Postoperatively pulse-oximetry and spirometry was done at 1, 3 and 24 hour after extubation.
  
Results There was a definite and similar decrease in lung function parameters (FEV1, FVC,
MEFR, PEFR andSpO
2) after both balanced anesthesia with desflurane and TIVA. However
FEV
1/FVC was not altered after both the modalities of general anesthesia.FEV1and SpO2
remained depressed for upto twenty four hours followed up. FVC recovered to near
preoperative value after twenty four hours of TIVA with propofol, but continued to remain
depressed after twenty four hours (followed up) of balanced anesthesia with desflurane.

MEFR recovered to near preoperative values after 3 hours of balanced anesthesia with
desfluraneand after 24 hours of TIVA with propofol. PEFR recovered to near preoperative
value after twenty four hours of TIVA with propofol, but continued to remain depressed after
twenty four hours (followed up) of balanced anesthesia with desflurane.
  
Conclusion TIVA with propofol is not associated with greater reduction in pulmonary
function parameters as compared with balanced anesthesia with desflurane in ASA I & II
patients without coexisting cardiopulmonary disease,obesity or pregnancyafter a peripheral
surgery not involving airway, thorax or abdomen.
