I have observed a sympathetic response to high inspired concentrations of desflurane (increased heart rate etc). Has anyone observed severe bronchospasm? (In which, obviously,  direct bronchodilation is overcome by the airway irritation).

My learned college (ANZCA) has a joint professional document with the dentists which gives its imprimatur to dentists with a diploma in sedation to sedate (with whatever drugs they like- in practice at least Propofol, Midaz, alfentanil) while they themselves do the dental work. In their isolated practices! Propofol in the emergency dept sounds safe compared with that.
