Sevoflurane consumption pattern by individual anaesthesiologists varies widely despite using the same high-end workstations in the same hospital
Authors' conclusion
Despite using the same workstations in the same hospital, the typical sevoflurane consumption differed dramatically between 22 anaesthesiologists.
Study context
- Population
- Cases anaesthetised by 22 anaesthesiologists using flow-i workstations in a medium sized hospital, 2019
- Participants
- 22 anaesthesiologists
- Exposure
- Sevoflurane consumption between individual anaesthesiologists by airway approach
- Outcome
- Typical sevoflurane consumption per anaesthesiologist (mean cumulative consumption in first 50 cases per airway group)
- Follow-up
- 45 min (intubated, laryngeal mask); 8 min (mask)
Methodological detailssingle-centre
- Single-centre
Main finding
