anesthesia/Sevoflurane
Hi Lisa,
Yes, Sevo (sevoflurane) is the newer and slightly better
gas for anesthesia. It has some advantages and is slightly
safer than Iso (isoflurane), but it costs about 8 times as much
as Iso. Another new gas is Deso (desoflurane) which is
slightly better than Sevo, but it is currently too expensive
for use in veterinary medicine.
Hope that clears up the confusion.
Happy Holidays,
Jerry Murray, DVM
PS if neither Iso or Sevo is available then Propofol is
an OK option.
