Description: Enflurane (Efrane), a volatile anaesthetic, is a potent inhibitor of high conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels of Chara australis. Enflurane is an internal standard in monitoring halogenated volatile anaesthetics by headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. It allows rapid adjustments of anesthesia depth with little change in pulse or respiratory rate.
