- To determine the suitability of enflurane for both minor and major oral surgeries.
Main Methods:
- Enflurane was administered to 100 unselected patients.
- Patients underwent various oral surgical procedures.
- Vital signs and postanesthesia recovery were monitored.
Main Results:
- Smooth induction, maintenance, and rapid recovery were observed.
- Stable vital signs were maintained throughout anesthesia.
- No ventricular arrhythmias occurred with epinephrine use; minimal postanesthesia nausea, vomiting, or excitement were reported.
Conclusions:
