Sevoflurane versus halothane and isoflurane in children with mitochondrial disorders undergoing surgery for muscle biopsy

With inhalation anesthesia, standard preoperative assessment monitoring and anesthesia management, there were no major preoperative and postoperative anesthesia related complications. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of preoperative complications and adverse events with inhalation anesthesia in children with mitochondrial disorders
