Primary result · Urinary HFIP concentrationResult — go to the resultCohen's d 3.19Authors' conclusion
Use of an additional external scavenging system during pediatric mask induction was associated with a substantial reduction in anesthesiologists' biological exposure to sevoflurane, as assessed by urinary HFIP.
Study context
- Population
- Anesthesiologists performing pediatric mask inductions with sevoflurane in an induction anesthesia room
- Participants
- 20 anesthesiologists
- Comparison
- Without scavenger vs Scavenger
- Primary endpoint
- Urinary HFIP (sevoflurane metabolite) concentration, normalized to creatinine
- Follow-up
- Following morning
