Which anesthetic keeps brain pressure safer during surgery?
NCT ID NCT07525648
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 63 women having laparoscopic hysterectomy to see if two different anesthetics (sevoflurane and desflurane) affect pressure inside the head differently. The researchers measured the optic nerve sheath diameter using ultrasound as a non-invasive way to check brain pressure. The goal was to find out which anesthetic might be safer for patients in the head-down position during surgery.
