What is Desflurane used for?

It is often chosen for its quick recovery profile, allowing patients to wake up more rapidly after surgery. Desflurane is also used in procedures where precise control of anesthesia depth is required.

What are the side effects of Desflurane?

Desflurane works by depressing the central nervous system, leading to a state of unconsciousness. Common effects include respiratory depression and a decrease in blood pressure. Patients may experience a rapid recovery from anesthesia due to its low solubility in blood.
