title: [Use of sevoflurane in neuroanesthesiology].
abstract: This review permits assessment of whether sevoflurane complies with the requirements for an ideal inhalational anesthetic in neuroanesthesiology. It considers the pharmacokinetic characteristics of sevoflurane. The data of studies on animal and man are used to evaluate the effects of sevoflurane on the intracranial parameters of the central nervous system and on cerebral hemodynamics. Where possible, sevoflurane is compared with isoflurane that is currently regarded as the drug of choice in neuroanesthesia.
