Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Anesthetic induction with nitrous-oxide-free sevoflurane in pediatric patients].
To evaluate the pediatric use of inhaled nitrous oxide (N2O)-free induction with sevoflurane for the purpose of protecting staff from exposure to workplace air pollution. ⋯ N2O-free anesthetic induction by tidal breathing of 8% sevoflurane provides similar anesthetic conditions (efficacy, safety, and rapid onset) without a higher incidence of adverse events. The use of N2O can therefore be avoided.
