Inhalational versus intravenous induction. A survey of emergency anaesthetic practice in the United Kingdom.
European Journal of Anaesthesiology 2000 January
A survey was constructed to ascertain the views of The Royal College of Anaesthetists tutors regarding the acceptability of inhalational induction with sevoflurane for emergency anaesthesia. A questionnaire was sent to all tutors asking them to indicate their preferred choice of anaesthetic technique, and whether they believed inhalation induction with sevoflurane to be acceptable, in each of four scenarios: acute epiglottis; bleeding after tonsillectomy; appendicitis; and laparotomy in the shocked patient. Two hundred and sixty-two (89%) completed questionnaires were received from 294 college tutors. We have shown that the majority of The Royal College of Anaesthetists tutors would use sevoflurane for patients with an acutely compromised airway. One in four college tutors would accept the use of sevoflurane for a shocked patient for laparotomy. Anaesthetists who manage critically ill patients with an inhalational induction should be reassured by the fact, that a significant proportion of their colleagues would find this technique acceptable.
