Abstract
Background: Sevoflurane is preferred for induction of anesthesia in children because of its rapid wash-in and minimal airway reactivity.
Aims: The primary aim of this study was to compare the washin profiles of sevoflurane in children using the Dräger Apollo and Ohmeda Aisys workstations.
Methods: Twenty-four healthy children (12 per workstation) scheduled for elective surgery underwent inhalational inductions with 8% sevoflurane and 66% nitrous oxide in this prospective observational study. The inspired and end-tidal sevoflurane concentrations were recorded every 30 for the first 5 min and every minute thereafter until the airway was secured. Primary and secondary outcomes consisted of the derived wash-in metrics during the induction.
Results: The end-tidal to inspired ratios of sevoflurane were similar with both workstations. The mean (±SD) inspired sevoflurane concentrations with the Apollo were less than with the Aisys workstation (p < 0.013). The mean (±SD) inspired concentration at 1 min with the Apollo, 6.4% ± 0.4%, was 22% less than that with the Aisys, 7.8% ± 0.67% (mean difference 1.4, 95% CI 0.88 to 1.8, p < 0.0001). The mean (±SD) maximum inspired and expired sevoflurane concentrations during the induction period with the Apollo, 7.2% ± 0.3% and 6.8% ± 0.37%, were 18% and 15% less than those with the Aisys, 8.5% ± 0.4% and 7.8% ± 0.9%, (mean difference 1.3, 95% CI 0.99 to 1.6, p < 0.0001) and (mean difference 1.01, 95% CI 0.41 to 1.6, p < 0.002) respectively. The median (25-75th percentile) time to reach 90% of the maximum inspired concentration during the induction with the Apollo, 1.75 (1-2.4) min was 3.5-fold greater than that with the Aisys, 0.5, 0.5-0.5 min (median difference -1.25, 95% CI -1.5 to -0.5, p < 0.0019).
Conclusions: The washing of sevoflurane with the Dräger Apollo workstation is slower, and the maximum sevoflurane concentrations are less in children than with the Ohmeda Aisys workstation.
