Which inhalational agent is used in patients with raised intra cranial tension?
Isoflurane causes least vasodialation and hence helps to moderate the cerebral blood flow. It reduces the ICT and hence is useful in neurosurgery. It is more potent than halothane and has rapid onset of action and induction. Reference 1. Quick Review of Pharmacology, By Dr J G Buch, Page 204
