Which has the most myocardial depression of all the inhaled agents?
Halothane
MAC of Halothane
0.75% in oxygen (VERY POTENT)
MAC of Isoflurane
1.2% in oxygen
Which is the least potent of volatile agents?
Desflurane
MAC = 4-6%
(think of the Devil’s # 6)
Which inhaled agent needs a special vaporizer?
Desflurane
(because of its low boiling point)
When heated under pressure it exerts as gas
