Progress of anesthetic strategy of endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke / 中华神经科杂志

ABSTRACT

Currently,the ideal anesthetic approach for the endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke remains unknown.Most retrospective studies and meta-analysis report worse outcomes from general anesthesia than from conscious sedation during endovascular treatment.However,series of randomized controlled trials have not shown the advantages of conscious sedation.The choice of anesthetic strategy should continue to be individualized in clinical practice.In order to provide references for clinician,the advantages and disadvantages of general anesthesia and conscious sedation for the endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke were reviewed.
