Comparison of the effects of 5 and 10 L/minute fresh gas flow on emergence from sevoflurane anesthesia: A randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A high fresh gas flow of >5 L/minute is commonly used for emergence from inhalation anesthesia. In addition, a high fresh gas flow may have detrimental effects on climate change. However, no study has determined the optimal fresh gas flow for emergence from inhalation anesthesia. Therefore, we compared the effect of fresh gas flows of 5 L/minute and 10 L/minute on emergence time from sevoflurane anesthesia.

Methods

Patients who were scheduled for transurethral resection of bladder tumor were randomly assigned to receive fresh gas flows of 5 L/minute (group 5) or 10 L/minute (group 10) during emergence. Emergence time was defined as the time from discontinuation of sevoflurane to tracheal extubation. The primary outcome was the emergence time, and the secondary out
