Conscious sedation no better than general anesthesia in post-stroke endovascular treatment

Conscious sedation was not superior to general anesthesia for functional recovery in patients undergoing endovascular treatment following acute posterior circulation stroke, researchers reported in JAMA Neurology.
Fa Liang, MD, of the department of anesthesiology at Capital Medical University in Beijing, China, and colleagues sought to determine whether conscious sedation was an acceptable alternative to general anesthesia during endovascular treatment in those with acute posterior circulation stroke by conducting a randomized, parallel-group exploratory trial at two comprehensive care
