 Six authors acknowledge receiving drugs (A. Zangrillo by Baxter [desflurane]), reimbursement for conferences-simposia (G. Landoni, F. Guarracino, L. Tritapepe, S. De Hert, all by Abbott [sevoflurane]), or a research grant (G. Torri by Abbott) or honoraria for writing a CD on sevoflurane (F. Guarracino, L. Tritapepe, by Abbott). All 6 authors received modest support with the exception of G. Torri.
