Local anaesthesia and propofol‐fentanyl sedation for carotid artery surgery

Abstract

The number of cases in this open, uncontrolled study does not permit an evaluation of this anaesthetic and sedative technique in terms of neurological and cardiac outcome. Thus, we simply want to inform about our positive experiences regarding patient acceptance and ease of performance in all relevant respects when fentanyl and propofol are used to supplement LA for carotid artery surgery.
