The importance of monitoring volatile anesthetic concentration

We present here two cases of improper administration of volatile anesthetics to patients during surgery due to malfunctioning anesthetic vaporizer. Despite apparently normal performance of the anesthetic machines, subsequent malfunction of vaporizer was detected. We received written consent forms from the patients for the publication of these cases.
