Comparative StudyAnesthetic indices of sevoflurane and isoflurane in unpremedicated dogs.
To compare the anesthetic index of sevoflurane with that of isoflurane in unpremedicated dogs. ⋯ Results suggest that sevoflurane has a higher anesthetic index in dogs than isoflurane. Sevoflurane and isoflurane caused similar dose-related cardiovascular depression, but although both agents caused dose-related respiratory depression, sevoflurane caused less respiratory depression at higher equipotent anesthetic doses.
