Isoflurane is a widely used volatile anaesthetic in veterinary medicine. Administered via inhalation, it offers smooth induction and precise control over anaesthetic depth. Its relatively low solubility permits rapid emergence once administration is discontinued, making it well-suited for procedures requiring quick recovery. Isoflurane is often used in dogs, cats, horses, and other animal species under controlled monitoring conditions. It is typically delivered via vaporiser in an anaesthesia machine with proper scavenging systems to protect personnel.
