ABSTRACT
Background: Daycare surgeries are those surgical procedures in which the patients are admitted and discharged on the same day. As daycare surgeries surged, there is a need to have an anaesthetic agent which can be efficient and also causes fewer side effects. This study effectively analyses the efficacy and safety profile of the two most popular anaesthetic agents used in daycare surgeries. Methods: This is a retrospective study that was conducted between January 2022 and March 2022. The included patients were between 25 years and 65 years old. The outcomes were based on several factors like the efficacy of the anaesthesia (based on 4-point scale, recovery time and appearance of any side effects. Results: The efficacy of the anaesthetic action was assessed by the 4-point scale of anaesthetic effect, which showed a better outcome with sevoflurane. The Recovery Time in Group 1 was 19.92�24 minutes while in Group 2 it was 25.04�03 minutes. The findings reveal that the numbers of patients with complications are more in Group 1 as compared to Group 2 patients. Conclusion: Daycare surgery has increased and so, there is need to find an anesthetic agent which can efficiently be used. Anaesthetic efficiency is quite higher in sevoflurane as compared to desflurane. In the case of each complication, sevoflurane proved to have lesser complications as compared to desflurane. Sevoflurane is a better alternative to desflurane in daycare surgery as the anaesthetic agent of choice.
