Summary
The new MIRUS system as well as the established AnaConDa system uses a reflector to conserve
volatile anaesthetics (VA). Both systems act with commercially available ICU ventilators. In
contrast to AnaConDa the MIRUS includes an automated control of end-tidal VA concentrations.
In this study the investigators compared feasibility, costs and recovery times after
anaesthesia with isoflurane (ISO), sevoflurane (SEVO) or desflurane (DES) in ventilated and
spontaneously breathing patients.
