A member asked:
Is desflurane only administered by inhalation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Desflurane is in a liquid state at room temperature. It turns into a gas when administered via an anesthesia machine. It should only be administered in a controlled fashion by an appropriately credentialed anesthesiologist in an appropriate environment.
