Subject: Re: data on anesthetics consumption

Dear Mr. Marju Sammul,

I am contacting you again regarding the use of anesthetics in Estonia. Last year, you kindly sent me data on consumption of desflurane (N01AB07), isoflurane (N01AB06) and sevoflurane (N01AB08) in the period 2018-2022. Do you also have data on previous years (2010-2017) and 2023?

Furthermore, could it be possible to have data on the consumption of propofol (N01AX10) as well?  

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

Dear Marju,

Thank you very much for the quick and positive reply.

Apologies, in my previous email I forgot to ask you for information on nitrous oxide (N01AX13) and nitrous oxide-combinations (N01AX63). Do you have data on these medications as well?

Best regards

Subject: data on anesthetics consumption

 

 

Dear Republic of Estonia Agency of Medicines,

I am conducting research on the use of halogenated anesthetics among European countries. I see that information on desflurane (N01AB07), isoflurane (N01AB06) and sevoflurane (N01AB08) is available in the “Estonian Statistics on Medicine 2022” document. Is it be possible to have data on the consumptions of these anesthetics for the previous years as well?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide
