SEGA - SEdation versus General Anesthesia for Endovascular Therapy in Acute Ischemic Stroke – a Randomized Comparative Effectiveness Trial.

Anesthesia Neurology Stroke Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

Objectives:

This study aims to estimate overall treatment benefit (improvement in disability) among acute ischemic stroke patients that are randomized to General Anesthesia (GA) compared with Sedation (CS) during endovascular therapy. Assess safety (as measured by incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage); rates of Endovascular therapy (EVT) procedural complications, reperfusion; and quality of life.

Hypothesis:

GA during EVT for acute ischemic stroke improves functional outcomes at 90 days compared to sedation.
