Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Nitrous oxide does not improve sevoflurane induction of anesthesia in adults.
To compare the characteristics of sevoflurane induction with and without the addition of nitrous oxide (N(2)O) using tidal breathing inhalation induction without priming of the breathing circuit. ⋯ The addition of N(2)O does not confer any clinically significant advantage in this method of sevoflurane induction in adults.
