AbstractHalothane, enflurane, and isoflurane, generally regarded as nonflammable, can be ignited under laboratory conditions. Attainment of similar conditions during clinical anesthesia is most unlikely. Nevertheless, early in the course of anesthesia while the concentration of the agent is still high, electrosurgery is best avoided if nitrous oxide is part of the anesthetic mixture and the operative field is exposed directly to the inflowing gases (as during certain laryngeal procedures).
