In the present study pediatric patients of ASA g­1 & ASA­II were selected and divided in two groups each consisting of 30 patients. Induction done by Isoflurane is labelled as “GroupA” and sevoflurane as “Group­B”. The aim of study was to compare the induction and emergence from anaesthesia, complications during induction and post operative period and haemodynamic stability intraoperatively, In the present study, It was observed that mean pulse rate remain stable in sevoflurane and increased in isoflurane. The mean induction time for isoflurane was 130 seconds as compared to sevoflurane 106 seconds. The complications like bradycardia, hypotension were more with sevoflurane, whereas breathholding, coughing, laryngospasm and salivation were more in isoflurane. In sevoflurane mean recovery time was 84 seconds and in isoflurane it was 110 seconds. Postoperative pain and crying was same in both groups. In conclusion, induction and emergence from sevoflurane is rapid and pleasant than isoflurane.
