374 BRITISH JOURNAL OF ANAESTHESIA irritation, causing reflex apnoea or coughing, and the second is ventilatory depression. The first factor is remarkable for its low incidence when halothane is used. In certain circumstances, such as after an iv induction, even low concentrations of halothane vapour may readily provoke coughing; however, most volunteers and patients may inhale 4% vapour with ease during a rapid inhalation induction. There is no doubt that, in conventional inhalation induction, isoflurane is likely to cause considerably more problems than halothane; most of these result from oropharyngeal secretions [6, 7] rather than bronchial irritation, and it is of considerable practical importance to study more systematically the different reflexes involved in these responses [8]. The reputation that isoflurane has for being pungent may have discouraged some investigators from using high concentrations [7], but the fear of excessive irritation and reflex secretions is possibly unwarranted [4].With isoflurane, induction times may be comparable to those of iv agents, and an inhalation technique may be available and acceptable even if there is reluctance to use halothane. High concentrations of halothane have proved to be tolerated well; it may be that isoflurane could also be tolerated well when used in the same manner. Although 2% isoflurane, used for rapid induction is less irritant than isoflurane used conventionally, it may be more irritant than halothane [7]. A comparative study using equipotent vapour concentrations has not been performed in unpremedicated subjects.
