PMCID: PMC2190056  PMID: 3125769

Abstract

The effects of enflurane and isoflurane were compared in fifty consecutive adults who had their third molars removed under outpatient general anesthesia. The results indicate that there is no significant difference in the transcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen or carbon dioxide; additionally, there was no siginificant difference in the mean arterial pressure of patients treated with either enflurane or isoflurane.
