Duration of anesthesia onset (time to intubation) and recovery (time to extubation, sternal and standing) and quality of recovery were compared for sevoflurane and isoflurane in 10 adult psittacines. Both agents were initially administered at an equal volume percentage (2%) rather than at equal minimum alveolar concentrations (MACs), therefore the initial concentration was above the isoflurane MAC for dogs and birds (1.3%) but below the sevoflurane MAC for dogs (2.3%). The time to intubation was significantly longer with sevoflurane because of initially delivering the sevoflurane below suspected MAC for birds. Although recovery times (time to extubation, sternal, and standing) were not significantly different, birds recovering from sevoflurane were less ataxic. Sevoflurane is a suitable inhalant agent for use in these psittacines and merits further study.
比较了七氟醚和异氟醚对10只成年鹦鹉的麻醉起效时间（至插管时间）、恢复时间（至拔管、胸骨支撑和站立时间）以及恢复质量。两种药物最初均以相同的体积百分比（2%）给药，而非相同的最低肺泡浓度（MAC），因此初始浓度高于犬和鸟类的异氟醚MAC（1.3%），但低于犬的七氟醚MAC（2.3%）。由于最初给予的七氟醚低于鸟类疑似MAC，七氟醚的插管时间明显更长。尽管恢复时间（至拔管、胸骨支撑和站立时间）无显著差异，但从七氟醚麻醉中恢复的鸟类共济失调较轻。七氟醚是一种适用于这些鹦鹉的吸入性麻醉剂，值得进一步研究。
