However, in patients undergoing spondylolisthesis, a lower incidence of coughing and lower scores in the visual analogue scale VAS has been documented in the group receiving sevoflurane anaesthesia. The probability of coughing has been shown to depend on the residual concentration of the anaesthetic at the time of extubation, and is significantly higher in elderly patients.
Sin embargo, en pacientes sometidos a espondilolistesis se ha documentado una menor incidencia de tos y menores valores de escala visual análoga en el grupo anestesiado con sevoflurano.Laprobabilidad de presentar tos ha mostrado ser dependiente de la concentración residual del anestésico en la extubación y es significativamente mayor en los pacientes mayores.
