The use of inhaled sevoflurane during operative hysteroscopy is associated with increased glycine absorption compared to intravenous propofol for maintenance of anesthesia

The results of the present study show that the use of inhaled sevoflurane is associated with significantly increased glycine 1.5% absorption compared to intravenous propofol for the maintenance of anesthesia. However, further randomized controlled trials are needed to assess the possible mechanisms and risk factors involved in the higher absorption induced by sevoflurane.
