In a few months since we have been evaluating a vaporizer to ease sevofluorà Esteve Veterinaria , to study the possibility of replacing the vaporizers currently use for this new model. The sevofluorà Inhalator is an anesthetic agent that has advantages over the forces isofluorà: time to sleep and waking the patient it very short, it is irritating to the respiratory tract, allowing direct mask inductions with many species of exotic reject isofluorà (rabbits, reptiles, rodents ...) ... eliminated mainly through the lungs, all facts that determined that, despite the investment involved the change is most appropriate for the anesthetic to our patients exotic.

The perfect complement to anesthesia was a sevofluorà capnògraf to control CO2 in the air inspired and expired by the patient, which helps establish the anesthetic plane achieved and also to monitor the evolution of the patient throughout the anesthesia with sevofluorà.
