Sevoflurane is a volatile, non-flammable inhalational anesthetic agent used for the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in both adults and pediatric patients. It is widely approved and commonly used in clinical anesthesia practice due to its low blood/gas partition coefficient, allowing for rapid induction and recovery.
Pharmacokinetic parameters reported in healthy adult volunteers, post steady-state inhalational administration.
