Sevoflurane is a commonly used inhalational anesthetic agent that helps induce and maintain general anesthesia during surgical procedures. It is favored for its rapid onset and quick recovery times, making it suitable for outpatient surgeries. Sevoflurane is administered through a vaporizer, allowing patients to breathe it in along with oxygen. This anesthetic works by depressing the central nervous system, leading to a loss of consciousness and sensation. It is generally well-tolerated, with fewer side effects compared to some other anesthetics. However, monitoring is essential to ensure patient safety throughout the procedure.
