Comparative StudyComparison of sevoflurane with isoflurane for rapid mask induction in midazolam and butorphanol-sedated dogs.
Rapid mask induction can be a useful induction technique for veterinary patients, although it is often accompanied by exaggerated excitement responses in unpremedicated animals (Mutoh et al.: Jpn. J. Vet. ⋯ None of the animals had episodes of induction-related complications. These results suggest that both sevoflurane and isoflurane produce a smooth onset of induction in midazolam and butorphanol-sedated dogs. Sevoflurane is a more suitable for rapid mask induction than isoflurane since it provides faster induction associated with a lower blood/gas partition coefficient.
