PY - 2014 T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part One Basic Exam AB - The most commonly used volatile anesthetics are desflurane, sevoflurane, and isoflurane. The chemical structures can be classified as substituted halogenated ethers. Additionally, halothane is a substituted halogenated alkane, a derivative of ethane. Isoflurane and enflurane are isomers that are methyl ethyl ethers. Desflurane differs from isoflurane in the substitution of fluorine for a chlorine atom, and sevoflurane is a methyl isopropyl ether.
