Postoperative pulmonary complications of desflurane- versus sevoflurane-based general anesthesia in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgery: a nationwide retrospective cohort study
Desflurane-based anesthesia was not associated with increased postoperative pulmonary complications and mortality compared to sevoflurane in patients with chronic respiratory diseases undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgery. However, further studies using reliable diagnostic criteria to assess COPD or asthma are warranted.
