Enflurane was compared with halothane for anaesthesia for short surgical procedures in paediatric out-patients. Induction of anaesthesia was more prolonged with enflurane and recovery times were similar with both agents. Coughing and laryngospasm during induction occurred more frequently with enflurane. The incidence of post-operative complications was essentially similar in both groups, but there was no evidence that the use of enflurane was followed by rapid recovery at home. Enflurane has no advantages over halothane in anaesthesia for short procedures for paediatric out-patients.

For years, halothane has been the anesthetic agent of choice for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and reversible airway disease (asthma). Enflurane was compared with halothane in 100 patients with COPD substantiated by spirometry and history. Intraoperative and postoperative complications in each relatively homogenous 50-patient group were assessed. Spirometry, blood gases, chest x-rays, incidence of complications involving secretions, coughing, wheezing, and cardiovascular problems were similar in both groups. Enflurane appears to be equivalent to halothane as an anesthetic in such patients.
