ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring the best type of anesthesia to use during a procedure called endovascular thrombectomy, which is performed on patients experiencing an acute ischemic stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel in the brain. The trial compares two different methods of general anesthesia: one using a gas called sevoflurane and the other using a medication called propofol delivered through an IV. Researchers want to see which method leads to fewer problems like confusion or memory issues after the procedure.

To participate in this trial, you need to be between 20 and 90 years old and diagnosed with a specific type of stroke that requires thrombectomy. You should also be willing to sign consent to join the study. If you choose to participate, the team will closely monitor your anesthesia and blood pressure during the procedure to ensure your safety and comfort. This study aims to find the best anesthesia approach for patients in similar situations, potentially improving recovery after strokes.
