Dosage
Premedication anesthesia
Premedication should be selected according to the needs of the individual patient and at the discretion of the anesthetist. The use of anticholinergic drugs is a matter of choice.
Induction
Sevoflurane has a nonpungent odor and does not cause respiratory irritability; it is suitable for mask induction in pediatrics and adults. Dosage should be individualized and titrated to the desired effect according to the patients age and clinical status. A short acting barbiturate or other intravenous induction agent may be administered followed by inhalation of isoflurane/sevoflurane.
Maintenance
Surgical levels of anesthesia can usually be achieved with concentrations of 0.5-3% sevoflurane with or without the concomitant use of nitrous oxide (N2O). Sevoflurane can be administered with any type of anesthesia circuit.
