Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
End-tidal concentrations of sevoflurane and desflurane for ProSeal laryngeal mask airway removal in anaesthetised adults.
The optimal end-tidal sevoflurane and desflurane concentration for successful ProSeal laryngeal mask airway (PLMA) removal in unpremedicated anaesthetised adults has not been determined. ⋯ Predicted EC50 and EC95 of sevoflurane and desflurane for smooth removal for the PLMA were 1.58 (0.669 to 2.060), 2.27 (1.859 to 21.16), 2.79 (2.733.2.841) and 3.27% (3.173 to 3.395), respectively.
