Modern Approaches to Sevoflurane Anesthesia Induction in Children: Comparative Analysis and Clinical Perspectives

Anesthetic management in pediatric practice requires special attention to the choice of induction technique due to children’s physiological sensitivity to pharmacological agents, specific features of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, and their emotional status. Sevoflurane, as a modern inhalation anesthetic, offers unique advantages—minimal airway irritation, favorable blood/gas partition coefficient, and absence of pungent odor—making it the agent of choice for mask induction in pediatric anesthesia.
