AbstractInhalational induction is one of the recognized methods for the management of difficult airway. Halothane is the usual choice of agent for this purpose. The relatively new agent sevoflurane, which is the least irritant of all the available agents, is emerging as a choice of inhalational agent for both adult and pediatric populations. There are various reports for and against the use of sevoflurane for the management of difficult airway. We describe the use of sevoflurane for the management of difficult airway in four patients presenting with airway problems.
