Abstract

 Cognitive functions are affected by varying degrees after

general anaesthesia. We aimed to compare the effects of remifentanil in

combination with sevoflurane, desflurane or propofol on haemodynamic

variables, post anaesthesia recovery and cognitive functions in patients for

whom head and neck surgery were planned

Keywords

This clinical research was performed on 60 patients, ASA I-II, aged 20-60 years with at least 8 years of education who would undergo elective surgical operations under general anaesthesia
