Scottish NHS banned desflurane back in March.
Surely patient safety should go ahead in this case. Does this gas get used enough to have a meaningful enough impact? I’m sure more noticeable effects could be had elsewhere through modernised and more efficient hospitals. I don’t know if the studies are strong enough to suggest either way.
Given this is a gas and is inhaled, does your body not break it down anyway?
