Nitrous oxide is widely used for dental sedation. However, weak potency of nitrous oxide requires additional sedatives for maintaining a deeper level of sedation. Sevoflurane, a mainstay in pediatric anesthesia, is a potent anesthetic agent. Some attempts have been made to use sevoflurane for conscious sedation. In this case, we successfully treat pediatric patients under deep sedation by sevoflurane inhalation without other sedatives. Sevoflurane may be useful for sedation in pediatric dental outpatient setting.
氧化亚氮广泛用于牙科镇静。然而，氧化亚氮的效力较弱，需要额外使用镇静剂以维持更深程度的镇静。七氟醚是儿科麻醉的常用药物，是一种强效麻醉剂。已经有人尝试将七氟醚用于清醒镇静。在本病例中，我们成功地通过吸入七氟醚在无其他镇静剂的情况下对儿科患者进行了深度镇静治疗。七氟醚可能在儿科牙科门诊环境中用于镇静。
