Hypotensive anaesthesia for microsurgery of the middle ear. A comparison between enflurane and halothane.

abstract：:The effects of propofol during low flow (1.6 l.min-1.m-2) hypothermic (27-29 degrees C) cardiopulmonary bypass on systemic haemodynamic and metabolic variables were studied in 20 patients in a parallel group comparison. Patients in the control group underwent two consecutive control periods, whereas those in the propo...

We speculated that this practice might damage the device during sterilisation in an autoclave.
