The Influence of Propofol Versus Sevoflurane Anesthesia on Outcome in 10,535 Cardiac Surgical Procedures
TL;DR: Sevoflurane appears to be superior to propofol in patients with little or no ischemic heart disease, such as noncoronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and CABG surgery without severe preoperative ischemia, whereas prop ofol seems superior in patientsWith severe ischemIA, cardiovascular instability, or in acute/urgent surgery.
