ObjectivesTo evaluate if the new anaesthesia platform ZEUS (Dräger Medical) allows the induction of anaesthesia with target-controlled inhalation of sevoflurane.Study DesignProspective clinical study.PatientsAdult ASA I or II patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anaesthesia.MethodsAfter preoxygenation during 3 min at 100% oxygen, patients were asked to breathe normally; the target end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane was fixed at 4% without priming of the circuit. Sufentanil (target concentration 0.5 ng/ml) was administered 40 s after.ResultsTen patients (48+/-22 yrs) were included. Sevoflurane was detected in the circuit after 36+/-5 s; the target end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane was obtained at 130+/-19 s. Loss of consciousness was observed after 119+/-7 s. The induction was achieved in all patients without any incident.ConclusionThis new anaesthesia system make available the induction of anaesthesia with sevoflurane without priming of the circuit.
