Generic Sevoflurane

Didn't even know it exists.
Nope. I've used several manufacturers of sevo. Never had a problem. Using this one specifically at a hospital right now
Edit: this is the manufacturer you asked about

Exactly like all the other sevo manufacturers I've used
I don’t remember
Should go take a bunch of huge breaths and find out??
Have branded and generic sevo at different worksites, never saw a difference
Reminds me of a story I heard in residency of a local custodian who learned to turn the nitrous on the anesthesia machine and was caught huffing that after hours.
Or the weirdo who would place cotton balls of sevo up his nose.
Cannot confirm if either are true
can we talk generic propofol next? definitely not the same.

I was thinking about this too. I've used so much more propofol when places buy the generic stuff -- sometimes twice as much as I'd normally expect to use.
Saw more bronchospasm with generic stuff. I wouldn't say less potent but more variable action than branded stuff.
Could be confounding as the place I worked at 2 pack per day smokers and daily marijuana users was probably every other patient under 65.
How does it smell?
Preservative isn't the same. Potency I haven't noticed much difference.
Some generic roc have a much more vinegary smell than others! 😂
how about taste?
I wouldn't use it on fish & chips... wait no... wrong vinegar.
Tasting fluids was a tangent in an M&M in residency though. One attending seriously asked another attending what the clear fluid coming out of the back tasted like to determine if it was local anesthetic, the saline flush, or CSF in a difficult OB epidural that took multiple tries.
Prolly got the intended laughs too....
