Isoflurane is a gas anesthetic used for general anesthesia. Isoflurane enters the body through the respiratory system and is supplied through a respirator during surgery. It can quickly adjust the depth of anesthesia and dissipate quickly after the operation, helping the patient wake up quickly. Isoflurane is widely used in a variety of surgeries, including heart surgery and brain surgery.
Using isoflurane can cause some side effects, including nausea, vomiting, headache, and sore throat. When using isoflurane, medical staff will closely monitor the patient's breathing and heartbeat to ensure safety. It may take some time for the patient to fully wake up after receiving isoflurane anesthesia.
In Hong Kong, isoflurane is a commonly used anesthetic and is chosen by medical professionals based on the patient’s specific condition and surgical needs. Patients should inform their doctor about past medical history and any drug allergies before surgery.
How to use: ISOFLURANE is an anesthetic, usually administered by inhalation. Use in the operating room or under the supervision of an anesthesia professional. The patient needs to inhale through an anesthesia mask to ensure smooth breathing. Be alert when using and avoid overdosing.
Dosage Guidelines: The dosage of ISOFLURANE will be based on the patient's age, weight and type of surgery. In general, the starting dose for adults is 1 to 1.5 MAC (minimum alveolar concentration), which can be adjusted as needed. For children, the dose is usually calculated based on their weight and is slightly lower than the adult dose. When using ISOFLURANE, physicians will adjust the dose according to the patient's condition to ensure appropriate anesthesia. Patients should follow their physician's instructions and should not adjust dosage or discontinue use on their own.
ISOFLURANE is a drug used as a general anesthetic. Its side effects include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, difficulty breathing, and changes in blood pressure. Some patients may experience allergic reactions after use, such as skin itching, redness and swelling, or shortness of breath. In addition, ISOFLURANE may also affect the heart, causing irregular heartbeats or decreased heart function. When using this anesthetic, doctors closely monitor the patient's condition to ensure safety. If there are any unusual reactions, notify medical staff immediately.

Drug contraindications:
1. Patients who are allergic to or have a history of allergy to Isoflurane should avoid using this drug. Allergic reactions may include symptoms such as skin redness and swelling, difficulty breathing, and throat tightening. In severe cases, anaphylactic shock may occur.
2. Pregnant women should avoid using Isoflurane during pregnancy, especially in the early and late stages of pregnancy, as the drug may cause adverse effects on the fetus.
3. Patients with severe liver dysfunction or liver disease should not use Isoflurane, because drug metabolism mainly occurs in the liver, and poor liver function may cause drug accumulation in the body, increasing the risk of adverse reactions.
4. Patients with heart disease should consult their doctor before using Isoflurane. Medications may have effects on the heart, especially in patients with irregular heartbeats or heart dysfunction.
5. Patients with a history of epilepsy should be cautious when using Isoflurane, as the drug may induce seizures or worsen symptoms.
In summary, before using Isoflurane, you should understand your medical history and drug-related information in detail, and use it rationally under the guidance of a physician to avoid the occurrence of adverse reactions.
