Desflurane has adverse environmental effects, but has clinical advantages to speed emergence and return of protective airway reflexes compared with sevoflurane. We hypothesized that weaning of the inspired sevoflurane during the final 15 minutes of surgery would eliminate differences in airway reflex recovery between these agents.
