A simplified concept for controlling oxygen mixtures in the anaesthetic machine--better, cheaper and more user-friendly?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Several methods may enhance the inhalational induction of anesthesia. In this randomized double-blind study, we evaluated the speed of induction of anesthesia with sevoflurane with or without pre-oxygenation. METHODS:Fifty-four patients scheduled for hysteroscopy received for 10 min air or 100% oxygen via a...
