[INDUCTION OF ANESTHESIA ON THE BASIS OF DESFLURANE AND FENTANYL--DANGER IN THE AMBULATORY SURGERY]
Purpose:
To study the possibility of desflurane use for induction of anesthesia.
Materials And Methods:
We analysed the intra- and immediate postoperative periods in 125 patients. Depending on the intended anesthesia method patients were randomised (the method of the envelopes) and included in one of two study groups: 1--volatile desflurane-based anesthesia (n = 62); 2--volatile sevoflurane-based anesthesia (n = 63).
Results:
Desflurane based anesthesia led to apnea until the installation of laryngeal mask in 94.5% of patients (of 54), for whom a completion of inhalation induction was possible, whereas sevoflurane based anesthesia.led to apnea occurred only in one patient (1.6%).
Conclusions:
"Step up" desflurane-based inhalational induction and sevoflurane-based maximum concentration inhalational induction "without primaryfilling of the circuit" showed no significant in time necessary for achieving an anesthetic concentration essential for LMA installation. In both groups it was 3-5 min. desflurane-based volatile induction with addition of fentanyl led to apnea in 97% of patients and associates with a higher risk of bronchospasm.

Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...
