Summary

Currently, total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and inhaled anesthesia are both commonly used for transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma resection. However, optimal choice for anesthesia maintenance in transsphenoidal surgery remains unclear. Previous studies focusing on this question provided fragmentary assessment and controversial results. The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate whether propofol and sevoflurane have different effect on post-anesthetic recovery after transsphenoidal resection of pituitary adenoma.

Conditions

  • Pituitary Adenoma

Interventions

DRUG

sevoflurane

Anesthesia is maintained with inhalation of sevoflurane. The concentration of sevoflurane was adjusted to maintain anesthetic depth, aiming for a bispectral index of 40-60.

DRUG

propofol

Anesthesia is maintained with an effect-site target-controlled infusion of propofol (2-6ug/ml) based on the Marsh mode. The concentration of propofol was adjusted to maintain anesthetic depth, aiming for a bispectral index of 40-60.
