About

Iflurane 250ML, containing Isoflurane, is a widely used volatile halogenated ether for the maintenance of general anesthesia. While it can be used for induction, its pungent odor often makes it less preferred for this purpose compared to other agents. Isoflurane produces dose-dependent central nervous system depression, leading to unconsciousness, muscle relaxation, and a degree of analgesia. It is known for its predictable hemodynamic effects, including dose-dependent peripheral vasodilation and a relatively stable cardiac output. Its low metabolism contributes to a favorable safety profile regarding organ toxicity, making it a reliable choice for various surgical procedures.

Uses

Maintenance of general anesthesia.
For a wide range of surgical procedures.
As a component of balanced anesthesia.
In situations where rapid emergence is not the primary concern.

Directions For Use

Administered via a calibrated vaporizer by trained anesthesia personnel in a controlled clinical environment.

Benefits

Provides stable maintenance of anesthesia.
Predictable hemodynamic effects.
Low metabolism, reducing organ toxicity risk.
Allows precise control of anesthetic depth.
Cost-effective for long surgical procedures.
Good muscle relaxation properties.

Side Effects

Hypotension
Respiratory depression
Nausea
Vomiting
Shivering
Headache
Dizziness
Malignant hyperthermia (rare)
Increased intracranial pressure
Pungent odor
Coughing or breath-holding during induction
Arrhythmias

Safety Measures

Alcohol - Alcohol is strictly contraindicated as it significantly potentiates the central nervous system depressant effects of Isoflurane.
Pregnancy - Use only when absolutely necessary and benefits clearly outweigh risks to the fetus; consult an anesthesiologist.
Breastfeeding - Caution is advised; temporary cessation of breastfeeding may be recommended following anesthesia.
Liver - Use with caution in patients with severe liver impairment; monitor liver function, though metabolism is low.
Kidney - Use with caution in patients with renal dysfunction; monitor kidney function, as minimal metabolism occurs.
Lung - Can cause respiratory depression and may irritate airways; close respiratory monitoring and management are crucial.
