Sevoflurane Insufflation vs Intravenous Sedation for Radiotherapy in Pediatric Patients

Cross-over Analysis of Sevoflurane Insufflation and Intravenous Sedation for Radiotherapy in Pediatric Patients

aim of this cross-over study is to compare sedation with insufflated sevoflurane and intravenous sedation for pediatric radiotherapy patients

aim of this cross-over study is to compare sedation with insufflated sevoflurane and intravenous sedation for pediatric radiotherapy(RT) patients in terms of success of the procedure (continuous completion of the RT session by providing inactivity) and complications such as desaturation, hypoventilation, airway spasm, bradycardia, tachycardia In addition, we aimed to investigate the incidence of anesthesia complications in RT patients and possible related factors with complications.
