Enflurane in outpatient paediatric dental anaesthesia. A comparison with halothane.
Enflurane and halothane were compared as volatile supplements to nitrous oxide anaesthesia for 80 children presenting for outpatient dental extractions. Induction and maintenance of anaesthesia were comparable and satisfactory with both agents, but recovery of consciousness was significantly quicker following enflurance anaesthesia. Full recovery from either enflurance or halothane was of similar duration.
