Description

Desflurane (also known as Suprane) is a general anesthetic that is inhaled before and during surgical procedures in adults. This medication may also be used in conjunction with other anesthetics to maintain anesthesia for longer periods of time. Desflurane induces anesthesia by blocking calcium and sodium ion channels, thus disrupting synaptic transmission in the brain.[PubChem:42113][https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2009/020118s016lbl.pdf] Source: Regenstrief LOINC
