Vomiting, retching, headache and restlessness after halothane‐, isoflurane‐ and enflurane‐based anaesthesia: An analysis of pooled data following ear, nose, throat and eye surgery

Background: Isoflurane has exceeded halothane and enflurane in usage. A literature search, however, revealed no data comparing the effects on emesis, headache and restlessness of these three agents.
