Enflurane anesthesia and changes of intracranial pressure.
Enflurane has been recommended by some as an ideal agent for use in neuroanesthesia. There is no statistically significant alteration of normal intracranial pressure with enflurane anesthesia. However, supporting a clinical impression, this study demonstrates in dogs that enflurane will significantly increase an already elevated intracranial pressure.
