- other inhalation agents
-
Halothane (Fluothane)
disadvantages
- Disadvantages: INHALATION ANESTHETIC
- Shivering common post op
- Can induce MH

-
Nitrous Oxide (N2O)
advantages
- Rapid induction and recovery INHALATION ANESTHETIC
- Useful for short procedures
- When used with other agents, reduces the required concentration of the other agents
