Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Recovery From Anesthesia
average time in minutes from the time the surgeon finished closing the surgical incision until the time the investigator in the postoperative care unit determined that the patients meet the discharge criteria from the postoperative anesthesia care unit (their vital signs had been stable for at least 30 min, their pain scores were less than the tolerable pain scores, they could sit up without dizziness or nausea, and their Aldrete score was ≥8).
Secondary Outcome Measures
Return of Cognitive Function
average time in minutes from the time the surgeon finished closing the surgical incision at the end of surgery until the patients could correctly state their full name, the current year and their day, month and year of birth

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The proposed study will measure the time from the end of surgery until the time patients meet the discharge criteria from the postoperative anesthesia care unit and the time from the end of surgery until the patients regained cognitive function after anesthesia.
Detailed Description
Hypercapnia has been used in conjunction with hyperpnoea to provide a more rapid return of responsiveness after inhaled anesthesia. In our first clinical study with isoflurane we confirmed that the time from turning off the vaporizer to opening of eyes was shortened by an average of 62% when the minute ventilation was elevated and the end tidal carbon dioxide concentration was kept at 52 mmHg rather than 28 mmHg during emergence. In our second study we found that hypercapnia and hyperpnoea accelerated recovery proportionately for sevoflurane and desflurane. The benefits of accelerating subject recovery in the operating room may extend to the entire recovery period if the subject is more alert and easier to care for when they arrive in the post anesthesia care unit.

standard of care for phase one anesthesia care
Intervention Description
Patients received intravenous fentanyl at the discretion of the attending anesthesiologist. Anesthesia was induced with a remifentanil infusion, lidocaine, propofol, and rocuronium or succinylcholine at the anesthesiologist's discretion. Maintenance anesthesia was 6% end tidal desflurane with oxygen flows of 2 L/min (though clinicians could deviate from this at their discretion). Clinicians were directed to maintain blood pressure at ±20% of baseline. A baseline remifentanil infusion was used throughout each case, and both remifentanil and fentanyl were titrated at the anesthesiologist's discretion. Ventilation was adjusted to maintain an end tidal carbon dioxide concentration (EtCO2) of 35 mmHg. Ondansetron 4 mg was given prophylactically before the end of surgery.

Device
Intervention Name(s)
Quick Emergence Device
Other Intervention Name(s)
QED-100 from Anecare Inc
Intervention Description
The Quick Emergence Device is placed between the endotracheal tube and the anesthesia breathing circuit to enable hypercapnia when ventilation is increased. The end-tidal gas sampling line is connected between the device and the endotracheal tube connector. Minute ventilation is doubled and the EtCO2 is elevated to approximately 48 mmHg from the previous maintenance level of 35 mmHg.
