Effect of total intravenous anesthesia versus sevoflurane anesthesia on intraoperative facial nerve monitoring: a randomized controlled trial
Authors' conclusion
Intraoperative facial nerve monitoring was feasible earlier and faster under TIVA than under sevoflurane anesthesia.
Study context
- Population
- Patients undergoing ear surgery with intraoperative facial nerve monitoring92 completed
- Participants
- 98 patients
- Comparison
- Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) vs sevoflurane anaesthesia
- Primary endpoint
- Recovery index (time interval between a TOFR of 0.25 and 0.75)
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Difference in medians
25 min
95% CI 20–31
P < 0.001
By group
TIVA vs Sevoflurane
difference in medians 25 min (95% CI 20–31); P < 0.001
Secondary outcomes
Time to TOFR of 0.25 · achieved earlier with TIVA
P < 0.001
Neuromuscular recovery in time for intraoperative facial nerve monitoring (IFNM)
- Achieved in both groups without need for reversal agents
