  • Title: A comparison of airway responses during desflurane and sevoflurane administration via a laryngeal mask airway for maintenance of anesthesia.
    Author: White PF, Eshima RW, Maurer A, King T, Lin BK, Heavner JE, Bogetz MS, Kaye AD.
    Journal: Anesth Analg; 2003 Mar; 96(3):701-705. PubMed ID: 12598249.
    Abstract:
    Although sevoflurane is less pungent than desflurane at larger concentrations, neither anesthetic seems to irritate the airway when administered at the smaller concentrations often used during maintenance of anesthesia. Both anesthetics may be delivered effectively via a laryngeal mask airway, with minimal evidence of airway irritation.
