Q

Halothane (Fluothane)

Study These Flashcards
A

Volatile liquid

Induction and maintenance of general anesthesia; use has declined because safer agents are avail.

22
Q

Isoflurane (Forane)

Study These Flashcards

Inhaled general anesthetics
Volatile liquid

Induction and maintenance of general anesthesia; most widely used inhalation anesthetic

23
Q

Methoxyflurane (Penthrane)

Study These Flashcards
A
