Evaluation of Adequate Time for Intravenous Cannulation in Children during Sevoflurane Induction

Sevoflurane has been in clinical use for inhalation anesthesia for more than 20 years and has been tested in numerous studies [1]. Sevoflurane has been described as the agent of choice for mask induction in children due to itslack of airway irritation, hemodynamic characteristics, and lower pungency [2]. Inhalation induction (IND) with sevoflurane is the preferred method for anesthetizing children in pediatric anesthesia. The ideal time for intravenous (IV) cannulation following inhalational induction in children is debatable. Its rapid halothane exposure has been reported to be better in terms of safety with fewer side effects than its late location. However, its early exposure to sevoflurane is poorly studied in the literature [3]. The administration of high concentrations from the start to 7 or 8% allows a faster and often preferred IND in children. 1.1 Objective
