sevoflurane (inhaled anesthetic)

Sevoflurane is a type of inhaled anesthetic used by medical professionals to make patients unconscious and comfortable during surgeries. When breathed in, it quickly reaches the brain, causing sedation and loss of sensation, allowing surgeries to be performed without pain or awareness. It is favored because it works rapidly, wears off quickly after stopping, and maintains stable blood pressure and breathing. Sevoflurane is administered through a breathing mask or tube and is carefully monitored by the anesthesia team to ensure safety and effective anesthesia throughout the procedure.
