Vapor pressure versus temperature curves for desflurane,
isoflurane, halothane, enflurane, and sevoflurane. The vapor pressure curve for
desflurane is steeper and shifted to higher vapor pressures compared with the curves
for other contemporary inhaled anesthetics. (From inhaled anesthetic package
insert equations and from Susay SR, Smith MA, Lockwood GG: The saturated vapor pressure
of desflurane at various temperatures. Anesth Analg 83:864–866, 1996.)
