SEVFURANE 250ML

About

Sevfurane 250ML, containing Sevoflurane, is a potent volatile halogenated ether used as an inhaled general anesthetic. It facilitates both the induction and maintenance of anesthesia across a broad range of surgical procedures and patient populations, including pediatric patients due to its non-pungent odor and rapid onset of action. Sevoflurane produces dose-dependent central nervous system depression, leading to unconsciousness, muscle relaxation, and analgesia. Its rapid recovery profile is attributed to its low blood-gas solubility, allowing for quick elimination from the body, which is advantageous for outpatient surgery and faster post-operative awakening.

Uses

• Induction of general anesthesia.
• Maintenance of general anesthesia.
• For surgical procedures in adults and children.
• As a component of balanced anesthesia techniques.

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Shivering
• Headache

Safety Measures

• Alcohol - Alcohol is contraindicated as it significantly enhances the central nervous system depressant effects of Sevoflurane.
• Pregnancy - Use only if clearly indicated and the benefits outweigh potential risks to the fetus; consult an anesthesiologist.
• Breastfeeding - Caution is advised; temporary interruption of breastfeeding may be recommended post-anesthesia.
• Liver - Use with extreme caution in patients with severe liver impairment; monitor liver function closely.
• Kidney - Use with caution in patients with renal dysfunction; monitor kidney function due to potential fluoride ion release.
• Lung - Can cause respiratory depression and may exacerbate pre-existing lung conditions; close respiratory monitoring is essential.
