" 10/01/2017 - "However, the only published randomized controlled studies to date, sedation vs. intubation for endovascular stroke treatment and anesthesia during stroke showed no difference in short-term clinical outcome between EVT patients treated with general anesthesia and conscious sedation and improved longer-term outcome in the general anesthesia group.

" 08/01/2007 - "Intellectual disability has traditionally been a contraindication for conscious sedation. "
