Conditions

Anesthesia induced by a single injection of a short acting intravenous anesthetic may not be adequate of endotracheal intubation as detected by responses of the isolated forearm technique with the incidence up to 19%. The addition of the inhaled sevoflurane may provide adequate depth of anesthesia/analgesia for the intubation. isolated forearm technique depth of anesthesia intubation

Interventions

sevoflurane 0.5 MAC administration following intravenous propofol induction,no sevoflurane administration following intravenous propofol induction
additional sevoflurane,no additional sevoflurane
