Sevoflurane Anesthesia

Modern day inhalant anesthetics are a tremendous improvement over older anesthetics. Inhalant agents are those that are breathed in and out rather than being injected into a blood vessel or muscle. While the newer anesthetics are "kinder" to an animal's organ systems, even the “safest” anesthetics are extremely potent and potentially lethal and should only be administered by a certified veterinarian.

Newer anesthetics such as Sevoflurane are less likely to aggravate a pre-existing abnormal heart rhythm. Additionally, inhalation agents such as SevoFlo enter and exit the brain rapidly, allowing for a rapid onset of and recovery from anesthesia.
