Sevoflurane Output in the Isoflurane/Halothane Diamedica Draw-over Vaporiser.
Draw-over anaesthesia remains an attractive option for conduct of anaesthesia in austere conditions. The Diamedica Draw-over Vaporiser (DDV) is a modern draw-over vaporiser and has separate models for isoflurane/halothane and sevoflurane. ⋯ In our experiment, we show that it is possible to use sevoflurane in an isoflurane/halothane DDV.

While the small sample size limits the generalisability of findings, the current study provides useful insight into treatment dropout in an Asian population.
