Recovery characteristics of sevoflurane or halothane for day‐case anaesthesia in children aged 1–3 years

Abstract

In children 1-3 yr, sevoflurane provided more rapid early recovery but not discharge after anaesthesia of <30-min duration. Apart from more vomiting with halothane and more discomfort during the first 10 min after awakening with sevoflurane, the quality of recovery was similar with the two anaesthestics.
