Abstract
Two cases are described in which an inhalation anaesthetic was perform ed in order to secure an airway in patients with upper airway compromi se. The agent used, sevoflurane, is relatively new and its properties are described. This is an important technique in which accident and em ergency staff should obtain the appropriate supervised training.
