Newer volatile anesthetic with rapid induction and recovery (low blood-gas solubility). Less pungent than isoflurane allowing mask induction.
Rapid induction/recovery. Less cardiovascular depression than isoflurane. More expensive. Compound A (nephrotoxic metabolite) with CO2 absorbents — use adequate fresh gas flow.
Species-specific contraindications and adverse-reaction reports for rabbits may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.
