Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Sevoflurane consumption in ml during induction of anesthesia (cumulative amount in the first 7 minutes after opening of vaporizer 1)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- Sevoflurane consumption in ml during maintenance - Ventilation settings: Fresh gas flow, Vaporizer setting, Fraction of inspiratory and expiratory oxygen, endtidal sevoflurane concentration - minimal alveolar concentration (MAC) - Ventilation complications: laryngospasm, bronchospasm - Narcotic depth: neuromonitoring, need for additional propofol bolus - Hemodynamic stability: mean arterial blood pressure, need for vasopressors, bradycardia/tachycardia - Economic efficiency: Cost savings - Sustainability: CO2 equivalents
