title: Sevoflurane anaesthesia with an Oxford Miniature Vaporizer in vaporizer inside circle mode.
abstract: Anaesthesia was induced and maintained successfully with sevoflurane using an Oxford Miniature Vaporizer (OMV) in vaporizer inside circle (VIC) mode. With continuous monitoring using the Drager Narkomed 4 machine agent analyser, the expired sevoflurane concentration was monitored and controlled easily. During induction, there was no cardiovascular depression, apnoea or coughing, but involuntary movements and breath-holding were common.
