Is Isoflurane Suitable for Use in Anesthesia Machines for Inhalation General Anesthesia in Animals?

12 August 2025 1 8K Report

I am looking to understand whether Isoflurane can be effectively used with anesthesia machines for administering inhalation general anesthesia in animal models. Are there specific considerations or protocols that should be followed? Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
