IH accelerates recovery from sevoflurane anesthesia and shortens operating room and postanesthetic care unit stay.

Cannulation of the distal aortic arch results in less cerebral microembolism than conventional cannulation of the ascending aorta. Provided it is performed safely, distal arch cannulation may be an important surgical option for patients with severe atherosclerosis of the ascending aorta.

Increasing alveolar ventilation enhances anaesthetic elimination and accelerates short-term recovery in obese patients.
