Table 1 Pharmacology and overview of halogenated volatile anesthetics[8,78-81]

	MAC (%)	Blood:Gas at 37^oC	Boiling point (^oC)	Odor	Metabolism (%)	Cardiovascular effects	Central nervous system effects
Halothane	0.75	2.4	122	Organic solvent	15-20	Decrease CO, decrease HR	Decrease CPP, increase CBF
Isoflurane	1.15	1.4	48	Ethereal/pungent	0.2	Decrease CO, increase HR, decrease SVR	Decrease CPP, increase CBF
Desflurane	6.0	0.4	23	Ethereal/pungent	0.02	Increase HR, decrease SVR	Decrease CPP, increase CBF
Sevoflurane	2.0	0.68	59	Organic solvent	5	Decrease SVR	Decrease CPP, increase CBF. Can induce epileptiform EEG

CBF: Cerebral blood flow; CO: Cardiac output; CPP: Cerebral perfusion pressure; EEG: Electroencephalogram; HR: Heart rate; MAC: Minimum alveolar concentration; SVR: Systemic vascular resistance.
