How Do Volatile Anesthetics Compare to Other Methods?
Compared to intravenous anesthetics, volatile anesthetics offer the advantage of easier administration and faster adjustments in anesthetic depth. However, intravenous methods might be preferred in certain scenarios, such as when rapid emergence is required or in patients with a history of malignant hyperthermia. The choice of anesthetic should be tailored to the individual needs of each pediatric patient.
