ENFLURANE IN OUTPATIENT PAEDIATRIC DENTAL ANAESTHESIA
A comparison with halothane
Department of Anaesthesia, University of Bristol Royal Infirmary, Bristol
Enflurane and halothane were compared as volatile supplements to nitrous oxide anaesthesia for 80 children presenting for outpatient dental extractions. Induction and maintenance of anaesthesia were comparable and satisfactory with both agents, but recovery of consciousness was significantly quicker following enfiurane anaesthesia. Full recovery from either enflurane or halothane was of similar duration.
