Randomized Controlled TrialComparison of low-fresh gas flow technique to standard technique of sevoflurane induction in children-A randomized controlled trial.
Although sevoflurane is preferred for inhalational induction in children, financial and environmental costs remain major limitations. The aim of this study was to determine if the use of low-fresh gas flow during inhalational induction with sevoflurane could significantly reduce agent consumption, without adversely affecting induction conditions. ⋯ Induction of anesthesia with sevoflurane using low-fresh gas flow is effective in reducing sevoflurane consumption, without compromising induction time and conditions.
