Randomized Controlled Trial
Comparison of recovery from anesthesia with isoflurane, sevoflurane, or desflurane in healthy dogs.
To determine the quality and speed of recovery from anesthesia with isoflurane, sevoflurane, or desflurane and determine end-tidal inhalant concentration at certain events during recovery in healthy dogs. ⋯ Results suggested that in dogs for which a short interval to standing is desired, desflurane is the best selection, followed by sevoflurane.
