Sevo Flu Rane

Sevoflurane is a general anesthetic used for induction and maintenance of anesthesia during surgery. It works by causing loss of consciousness and pain sensation through reversible effects on the central nervous system and muscles. Sevoflurane is administered via inhalation and has a fast onset of 1-2 minutes and duration of effects from 4-14 minutes. It is metabolized in the liver and excreted in urine, with up to 5% metabolized. Sevoflurane is indicated for adult and pediatric patients undergoing inpatient or outpatient surgery, with risks including postoperative dystonia in children and liver damage.
