Comparison between halothane and sevoflurane for adult vital capacity induction.
We have examined the differences in ventilatory characteristics between halothane and sevoflurane when used for adult vital capacity induction of anaesthesia. The study was conducted in a randomized, double-blind manner. After 13 patients had been enrolled, the study was curtailed because the blinded observer thought that there was an unacceptably high incidence of adverse events. After the ran...
متن کاملVital capacity and patient controlled sevoflurane inhalation result in similar induction characteristics.
PURPOSE To compare patient controlled inhalational induction (PCI) with the most commonly used sevoflurane induction technique, vital capacity inhalational induction (VCI). METHODS Following approval of the Research Ethics Board, 124 outpatients undergoing knee arthroscopy were randomly assigned to receive either PCI or VCI sevoflurane followed by laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion and sev...
متن کاملRapid inhalation induction with halothane-nitrous oxide for myasthenic patients.
Rapid inhalation induction (RII) was successfully employed for patients without myopathy. Inhalatory agents can be used for anaesthetic induction of myasthenics, avoiding the use of neuromuscular blocking agents. We studied the use of RII in 15 myasthenics (MG) and in 15 normal subjects (nMG), measuring induction time (TI), cardiorespiratory effects, complications, and evaluated the patient's r...
متن کاملInhalation induction with sevoflurane: a double-blind comparison with propofol.
We conducted a randomized, double-blind comparison of 8% sevoflurane and propofol as induction agents for day-case cystoscopy in 102 patients. All patients received an i.v. cannula and breathed oxygen 5 litre min-1. Anaesthesia was induced with propofol i.v. or inhalation of 8% sevoflurane and 10% Intralipid (as a placebo) i.v., delivered by a blinded observer. Anaesthesia was maintained in all...
متن کاملComparison of sevoflurane with halothane: statistically valid?
Sir,—I read with interest the article by Taivainen and colleagues [1] comparing the effects of sevoflurane and halothane on the quality of anaesthesia and serum glutathione transferase alpha and fluoride in paediatric patients. The authors mentioned the use of the Student's t test or Fisher's exact test for intergroup comparisons of anaesthesia data. They also mentioned the use of analysis of v...
