title: Precautions when using enflurane.
abstract: Enflurane offers few advantages over halothane, and it is more expensive than halothane. It causes greater cardiopulmonary depression and induces seizure activity. When economy and systemic effects are considered, enflurane offers no real benefits for veterinary anesthesia.
