Comparing isoflurane and desflurane: A prospective randomised blinded clinical trial in horses undergoing elective surgery
Haemodynamic support required during anaesthesia and recovery quality were similar between agents. Desflurane horses recovered faster and required fewer attempts to stand, suggesting that this anaesthetic may lead to fewer recovery injuries and optimise workflow in the equine theatre.
