<p>he concentration of sevoflurane being delivered from a vaporizer during anesthesia should be known. This may be accomplished by using a vaporizer calibrated specifically for sevoflurane. The administration of general anesthesia must be individualized based on the patient&#39;s response.<br />
<br />
<strong>Replacement Of Desiccated CO2&nbsp;Absorbents</strong>: When a clinician suspects that the CO2&nbsp;absorbent may be desiccated, it should be replaced. The exothermic reaction that occurs with sevoflurane and CO2&nbsp;absorbents is increased when the CO2&nbsp;absorbent becomes desiccated, such as after an extended period of dry gas flow through the CO2&nbsp;absorbent canisters<br />
<br />
<strong>Pre-anesthetic Medication</strong>: No specific premedication is either indicated or contraindicated with sevoflurane. The decision as to whether or not to premedicate and the choice of premedication is left to the discretion of the&nbsp;anesthesiologist<br />
<br />
<strong>Induction</strong>: Sevoflurane has a nonpungent odor and does not cause respiratory irritability; it is suitable for mask induction in&nbsp;pediatrics&nbsp;and adults<br />
<br />
<strong>Maintenance</strong>: Surgical levels of anesthesia can usually be achieved with concentrations of 0.5-3% sevoflurane with or without the concomitant use of&nbsp;nitrous oxide. Sevoflurane can be administered with any type of anesthesia circuit</p>
