Abstract

Sevoflurane is familiar to anesthesiologists as an inhaled anesthetic to induce and maintain anesthesia; however, it has not been widely used for sedation. Recently, the use of sevoflurane for inhalational sedation has been increasing. Moreover, in Korea, the use of sevoflurane for conscious or deep sedation in dental care for children and the disabled is increasing, primarily by dental anesthesiologists. In this article, we reviewed a sedation method using sevoflurane.
