Brief Summary
This retrospective cohort study examined clinical outcomes in patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke under general anesthesia or sedoanalgesia. Patient data from 2014 to 2018 were obtained from hospital medical records. Mortality and neurological outcomes were compared between anesthesia groups.

Study Arms (2)
General Anesthesia Group
Patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy under general anesthesia, based on anesthesia records.
Sedoanalgesia Group
Patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy under sedoanalgesia, based on anesthesia records.
Interventions
Patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy under general anesthesia, based on anesthesia records.
Patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy under sedoanalgesia, based on anesthesia records.
Eligibility Criteria
The study population consisted of adult patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent mechanical thrombectomy at the University of Health Sciences Bakirkoy Dr. Sadi Konuk Training and Research Hospital between 2014 and 2018. Patients were treated within 6 hours of symptom onset and achieved successful angiographic reperfusion. Based on anesthesia records, patients were categorized according to anesthesia management as general anesthesia or sedoanalgesia.
You may qualify if:
- Age ≥18 years
- Acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (MCA M1)
- Mechanical thrombectomy performed within 6 hours of symptom onset
- Pre-procedural TICI score 0-1
You may not qualify if:
- Age ≥100 years
- APACHE II score of 25 or higher
- Glasgow Coma Scale score below 10
- Requirement for endotracheal intubation before the procedure
- Patients discharged from the procedure to the intensive care unit while intubated
- Time from symptom onset to procedure exceeding 6 hours
