The aim of this study is to compare the patient state index values produced by equi-MAC of sevoflurane and desflurane in patients undergoing single-agent volatile anesthesia.
There have been several studies comparing electroencephalogram-derived indices produced by sevoflurane and desflurane. However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no study which compared the two inhaled anesthetics using patient state index. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the patient state index values produced by sevoflurane and desflurane at equi-MAC in patients undergoing single-agent inhalation anesthesia.
