The results indicated that, although the changes in Sj(O(2)) and Sc(O(2)) during a reduction in haemoglobin concentration were similar under propofol and sevoflurane/nitrous oxide anaesthesia, the changes in Sc(O(2)) were not parallel to those in Sj(O(2)). The discrepancy of the results in Sj(O(2)) and Sc(O(2)) may make the interpretation of their values difficult during haemodilution.

Tracheal intubation by trainees under the supervision of consultant anaesthetists did not worsen the postoperative airway outcomes, such as sore throat and hoarseness.
