A patient with mitral stenosis had to undergo surgery. A pre-anaesthetic checkup revealed the increased liver enzymes. Which of the following inhalational agent should be preferred in this patient?
Xenon
Enflurane
Halothane
Sevoflurane
Halothane is hepatotoxic and all fluorinated anesthetic agents can cause a dose-dependent decrease in arterial BP and de­pression of heart. Xenon has minimal effect on CVS function.
