Popis: Objective: This study aimed to compare the cost-effectiveness of low-flow (1 liter per minute (LPM)) and medium-flow (2 LPM) anesthesia. Material and Methods: Seventy patients aged 18–60 years who were undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia were randomly allocated to receive a total gas flow rate of 1 LPM (group 1) and 2 LPM (group 2) during the maintenance of anesthesia. The primary outcome was to compare the cost and consumption of sevoflurane and litholyme. The secondary outcomes were hemodynamic stability and time to extubation. Results: The cost and consumption of sevoflurane in group 1 (197.3 Thai Bahts (THB)/hour (hr) and 9.6 milliliter (ml)/ hr) were significantly less than those in group 2 (303.2 THB/hr and 14.8 ml/hr; p-value
