Cardiovascular Effects of Sevoflurane, Halothane, and Isoflurane Sevoflurane: Maintains cardiac index and heart rate effectively. Exhibits less hypotensive and negative inotropic effects compared to halothane. Cardiac output is greater than that observed with halothane. Recovery from sevoflurane anesthesia is smooth and comparable to isoflurane, with a shorter time to standing than halothane. Halothane:…
