What is Desflurane?

CAS: 57041-67-5
Molecular Formula: C3H2F6O
Molecular weight:168.04
Desflurane is one of the a lot of frequently used airy analgesic agents and has an accomplished assurance record. Rare individual case letters of astringent astute alarmist abrasion akin halothane hepatitis due to desflurane accept been published.
Though it vaporises actual readily, it is a aqueous at allowance temperature. Anaesthetic machines are adapted with a specialized anaesthetic vaporiser assemblage that heats aqueous desflurane to a connected temperature. This enables the abettor to be accessible at a connected breath pressure, adverse the furnishings clashing ambient temperatures would contrarily accept on its absorption imparted into the beginning gas breeze of the anesthesia machine.
Desflurane, forth with enflurane and to a bottom admeasurement isoflurane, has been apparent to acknowledge with the carbon dioxide absorptive in anesthesia circuits to aftermath apparent levels of carbon monoxide through abasement of the analgesic agent. The CO2 absorptive Baralyme, if dried, is a lot of amiss for the assembly of carbon monoxide from desflurane degradation, although it is aswell apparent with soda adhesive absorptive as well. Dry altitude in the carbon dioxide absorptive are accessory to this phenomenon, such as those consistent from top beginning gas flows.
