How to use Isoflurane Injection 99.90%?

• The liquid is for use only in a calibrated vaporiser designed for isoflurane
• It must never be swallowed, injected, or applied to the skin
• Only trained staff with airway and monitoring equipment should give it
• The patient's breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure are monitored throughout
• Patients are observed in recovery until fully awake

Contraindications

• Should not be used by patients or family with a history of malignant hyperthermia
• Should not be used by patients allergic to isoflurane or other halogenated anaesthetics
• Should not be used after liver injury or unexplained jaundice linked to a halogenated anaesthetic
• Should not be used without a trained anaesthetist and proper monitoring

Risks and warnings

• Tell the anaesthetist: about past anaesthesia reactions in you or relatives, as malignant hyperthermia can be inherited
• Use with caution: if you have liver disease or repeated past anaesthetics, as liver inflammation may rarely occur
• Use with caution: if you have heart disease, as isoflurane may lower blood pressure or change heart rhythm
• Use with caution: in young children or pregnancy, and only if the anaesthetist judges the benefit worthwhile
• Tell your doctor about other medicines: as isoflurane may strengthen muscle relaxants, and opioids may lower the dose needed
• Avoid driving and alcohol: for at least 24 hours after anaesthesia, as drowsiness and slowed reactions may continue
• Overdose is managed in hospital: as too much vapour may slow breathing and lower blood pressure
