The present study focused on evaluation of induction, maintenance and emergence of inhaled anesthesia and comparison of these anesthetics times for isoflurane and sevoflurane. The biological material consisted of 12 Wistar rats divided into 2 groups, each containing a number of 6 rats. One group was anesthetized with isoflurane and the other with sevoflurane. We monitorized the rats during all stages of anesthesia, observing how the induction established, the state of the rats throughout the anestesia and the moment of the first recovery signs, the moment the rats became active as well as the moment of full recovery from anesthesia. Both isoflurane and sevoflurane rapidly induced the anesthesia, without excitation signs and the emergence was significantly faster in sevoflurane group in comparison to the isoflurane group, being accompanied by horipilation in both anesthetics.
