Desflurane versus propofol for ambulatory surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis
In ambulatory surgery, desflurane demonstrated faster early recovery, higher incidence of in-hospital PONV and antiemetic rescue, compared with propofol. The reductions in mean time and variability for early recovery with desflurane could potentially contribute to improved operating room efficiency and lower labor costs. Future studies are needed to confirm these findings.
