Answer |
| Thymol as preservative |
Halothane |
| Cerebral blood flow increases. |
Halothane |
| It causes dose dependent depression of cardiac output and drop in arterial blood pressure. |
Halothane |
| Catecholamine induced arrhythmias are common |
Halothane |
| Inspired concentration of 2 to 4% produce smooth rapid induction of anesthesia in all domestic animals |
Halothane |
| Metabolized up to 19 to 22% |
Halothane |
| Bromide peaks at 72 hours. |
Halothane |
| Malignant hyperthermia, halothane is the most potent. |
Halothane |
| Isoflurane is the similar to enflurane in general physical and chemical properties. |
Isoflurane |
| Metabolized 0.17%, main metabolite are trifluroacetic acid and inorganic fluoride, renal toxicity is very remote. |
Isoflurane |
| Now a days most commonly used in all clinical cases |
Isoflurane |
| Has better cardiovascular function compared with other gas anesthetics, other than nitrous oxide. |
Isoflurane |
| Respiratory depression is greater than halothane. |
Isoflurane |
| Arrhythmias have not been reported and less likely to occur with catecholamines. |
Isoflurane |
| Isomers of Isoflurane. |
Enflurane |
| Causes seizer like activity, muscle twitching, head jerks. |
Enflurane |
| Cardiovascular depression similar to halothane. |
Enflurane |
| Metabolism 2.4 % |
Enflurane |
| Metabolite is inorganic fluoride. |
Enflurane |
| Renal toxicity is unlikely, but hepatitis has been reported. |
Enflurane |
| It is a fluorinated ether and metabolized to free fluoride ions and hexafluoroisopropanol which is rapidly glucuronid in the liver. |
Sevoflurane |
| Hepatotoxicity very low |
Sevoflurane |
| Renal toxicity has been reported in man. |
Sevoflurane |
| MAC 2.05 |
Sevoflurane |
| Blood/Gas solubility 0.62. |
Sevoflurane |
| Metabolism 3.0% |
Sevoflurane |
| Rapid induction and very rapid recovery compared to isoflurane, but not as fast as desflurane. |
Sevoflurane |
| Desflurane is a fluorinated methyl ethyl ether, differing from isoflurane only in the substitution of fluorine for chloride at the alpha ethyl carbon. |
Desflurane |
| MAC 7.2 |
Desflurane |
| Blood/Gas solubility 0.4 |
Desflurane |
| It can boil at close to room temperature, therefore a special vaporizer produced is essential. |
Desflurane |
| Metabolism 0.02 %, potential for toxicity is very low. |
Desflurane |
| Very rapid induction and recovery compared to isoflurane and sevoflurane. |
Desflurane |
