Sevoflurane drawover anaesthesia with two Oxford Miniature Vaporizers in series.
The output of sevoflurane from a drawover system utilizing two Oxford Miniature Vaporizers (OMVs) in series has been shown in bench-testing to be predictable. We have shown that adequate anaesthesia can be achieved with one vaporizer in most situations if an intravenous induction is used. ⋯ Under these conditions, adequate operating conditions are easily produced. The method could be useful in field or military applications.
