Sevoflurane?(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-(fluoromethoxy)propane; synonym,?fluoromethyl hexafluoroisopropyl ether), is a sweet-smelling, nonflammable,?highly fluorinated methyl isopropyl ether?used as an?inhalational anaesthetic?for induction and maintenance of?general anesthesia. After?desflurane, it is the volatile anesthetic with the fastest onset and offset.

It is one of the most commonly used?volatile?anesthetic agents, particularly for outpatient anesthesia,?across all ages, as well as in veterinary medicine. Together with?desflurane, sevoflurane is replacing?isoflurane?and?halothane?in modern?anesthesiology. It is often administered in a mixture of?nitrous oxide?and oxygen.

Sevoflurane “has an excellent safety record”,?but is under review for potential?neurotoxicity, especially relevant to administration in infants and children, and rare reports similar to?halothane?hepatotoxicity.?Sevoflurane is the preferred agent for mask induction due to its lesser irritation to?mucous membranes.

Sevoflurane was discovered by Ross Terrel?and independently by Bernard M Regan. A detailed report of its development and properties appeared in 1975 in a paper authored by Richard Wallin, Bernard Regan, Martha Napoli and Ivan Stern. It was introduced into clinical practice initially in Japan in 1990 by Maruishi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Osaka, Japan. The rights for sevoflurane worldwide were held by?AbbVie. It is now available as a?generic drug.
