abstract：:New anaesthetic agents are continually being developed in an effort to prepare the ideal agent. Isoflurane is the first choice of many anaesthetists, although it clearly falls short of the ideal on a number of counts. The need and place for any new agent depends on comparing the properties of a theoretically ideal age...
