In Defense of Desflurane: Is There a Specific Role for Desflurane in Neuroanesthesia?

Journal of Neuroanaesthesiology and Critical Care
It is challenging to counter the widespread criticism of desflurane as the volatile anesthetic agent with the most significant greenhouse gas effect, one which is likely to exacerbate global warming.

The Agents of Climate Justice in Healthcare

Bioethics, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 697-706, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper addresses the critical issue of decarbonising healthcare systems to help combat climate change. I focus on identifying the ‘agents of justice’ responsible for this transformation. Beginning with the claim that healthcare's greenhouse gas emissions cause injustice, the paper assumes that achieving a net zero healthcare system is ...

Modelling the greenhouse gas impact of volatile anaesthetic agents in South Africa

Southern African Journal of Anaesthesia and Analgesia
Desflurane has been removed from practice across the National Health Service (NHS) hospitals in the United Kingdom (2024)1 and the European Parliament has prohibited the use of desflurane from 2026, with restricted exceptions.

Effect of desflurane anesthesia on flash visual evoked potential monitoring in patients undergoing spine surgery: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Trials
Background Flash visual evoked potentials (FVEPs) are a reliable method for protecting visual function during spine surgery in prone position. However, the popularization and application of FVEPs remain limited due to the unclear influence of various ...

Assessing potential desflurane-induced neurotoxicity using nonhuman primate neural stem cell models

Experimental Biology and Medicine
Safety concerns about general anesthetics (GA), such as desflurane (a commonly used gaseous anesthetic agent), arose from studies documenting neural cell death and behavioral changes after early-life exposure to anesthetics and compounds with related ...

Effects of desflurane on central and peripheral clock genes in mice

Di-san junyi daxue xuebao, 2019
Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of the anesthetic drug, desflurane, on central and peripheral clock genes in mice. Methods C57BL/6J mice were anesthetized with different concentrations (3%, 4%, 6%, 7%, 9%) of desflurane, and then the ...

Brief, Repeated Isoflurane Anaesthesia Elicits Sex‐Dependent Behavioural, Cerebrovascular and Microglial Alterations in Mice

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 64, Issue 4, August 2026.
Repeated brief isoflurane exposures disrupted natural behaviours such as nesting and burrowing, with females also showing reduced activity. These behavioural changes were accompanied by altered brain blood flow and shifts in microglial phenotype. Even routine anaesthesia produced meaningful, sex‐specific effects on brain cellular homeostasis and ...

Analgesic effects of alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists in equine medicine: systemic, spinal, and local applications

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 8, Page 442-452, August 2026.
Summary Alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists provide analgesia when used as sole agents but can also be used in combination with other drugs for their additive and potentially synergistic effects. Further, because of their effects on blood flow, alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists act to extend and perhaps intensify the effects of drugs, such as local ...
