**Summary** Twelve volunteers known to have airways that responded adversely to 2.0 MAC desflurane were recruited. Each volunteer inhaled three single breaths of each of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 MAC of sevoflurane, halothane, isoflurane, desflurane and balance air, with breaths of air between, whilst breath
