Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Aim. To define efficiency and safety of the combined inhalational and intravenous anesthesia (isoflurane + propofol) in patients operated due to gastrointestinal cancer. Methods. 163 patients who were operated due to gastric cancer (119 patients), cancer of the head of the pancreas (24 patients) and colon cancer (20 patients) were examined. Central circulation parameters, autonomic nervous system status, serum cortisol and glucose levels, bispectral index in patients who underwent inhalational or combined inhalational and intravenous anesthesia were compared. Results. There was no significant difference of the examined parameters in patients who underwent combined inhalational and intravenous anesthesia (isoflurane + propofol) compared to patients in whom only inhalational anesthesia with isoflurane was used. Combination was characterized by less change of the examined parameters compared to baseline levels and prolonged emergence from anesthesia. Conclusion. Combined anesthesia is quite safe and effective if used in oncosurgery.
