Critically ill patients often require multi-purpose sedation in intensive care units. Drugs used for this purpose can be administered intravenously and less commonly by inhalation. The COVID-19 pandemic has currently brought us several consequences, such as the depletion of pharmacological resources, which leads us to the non-routine use of alternatives to achieve the same sedation goals, even with fewer adverse effects and better results terms of the outcome of its disease. Volatile anesthetics have been considered as an option, the same ones that are administered through the AnaConDa inhalation precipitate system. We present a case of a patient with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19, who develops secondary severe ARDS and a subsequent need for deep sedation, providing it with a volatile anesthetic (sevoflurane) using the AnaConDa system.
