Quality Differences in Postoperative Sleep Between Propofol-Remifentanil and Sevoflurane Anesthesia in Infants

Abstract

Postoperative sleep disturbances occur in infants after both propofol-remifentanil and sevoflurane anesthesia. Sevoflurane seems to be associated with less impairment of postoperative sleep than propofol-remifentanil in the first weeks after repair of cleft lip and palate in infants.
