Comparación de la incidencia de tos entre desflurano y sevoflurano cuando se utiliza la máscara laríngea. Ensayo clínico controlado

The patients who inhaled desflurane through a laryngeal mask had a higher incidence of cough than those who inhaled sevoflurane. The mechanism by which cough is being triggered by desflurane should be studied to determine whether the effect is chemical or mechanical and whether it is acting in the larynx or in the distal portion of the lung.
