Table 1 Desflurane consumption (cumulative dose, mL liquid) was higher at all times (P < 0.05) during automated closed-circuit anesthesia administration (Zeus®) than with a conventional machine used with the predefined low flow sequence (ADU®).

From: Desflurane consumption during automated closed-circuit delivery is higher than when a conventional anesthesia machine is used with a simple vaporizer-O2-N2O fresh gas flow sequence
