Description

Isoflurane 250 mL is a volatile anesthetic agent used in general anesthesia to induce and maintain anesthesia during surgical procedures. Isoflurane is a halogenated ether known for its effective anesthetic properties and is administered via inhalation. It is favored for its rapid onset and predictable effects, which facilitate precise control over the depth of anesthesia.

The 250 mL volume of isoflurane is provided in a secure, sterile container, ensuring that the anesthetic remains uncontaminated until use. This quantity is suitable for multiple applications in clinical settings, including hospitals and surgical centers. Isoflurane's pharmacokinetic profile allows for quick adjustments in anesthetic depth, which is crucial during complex or lengthy surgical procedures.

Isoflurane works by enhancing the inhibitory neurotransmitter activity in the central nervous system, leading to a reduction in neuronal excitability and resulting in the loss of consciousness. It maintains stable hemodynamics and has a low incidence of adverse effects, making it a reliable choice for various types of surgeries.

Common side effects of isoflurane include respiratory and cardiovascular depression, which requires careful monitoring during administration. Contraindications include known hypersensitivity to halogenated anesthetics and pre-existing conditions that may be exacerbated by inhaled anesthetics.
