Desflurane (1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl
difluoromethyl ether) is a
highly fluorinated methyl ethyl ether used for
maintenance of
general anesthesia. Like...

After desflurane, it is the
volatile anesthetic with the
fastest onset.

agents other than

local anesthetic properties, in
addition to its
opioid effects.
