Inhalational anesthetics like sevoflurane and desflurane are commonly used during general anesthesia due to their rapid onset and ease of administration. However, their hemodynamic effects and recovery profiles can vary, influencing perioperative management. This prospective study compares the hemodynamic stability, recovery time, and incidence of postoperative complications between sevoflurane and desflurane in patients undergoing elective surgery. We assessed parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, and the time to extubation, alongside patient-reported outcomes related to nausea, pain, and cognitive function. The findings suggest that while both anesthetics are effective, desflurane offers faster recovery times, but sevoflurane may provide better cardiovascular stability during the perioperative period. These results contribute valuable insights for anesthesiologists in selecting the appropriate inhalational agent based on patient-specific factors.
