Abstract
Volatile anesthetics, particularly the new generation of agents, have a very rapid onset and offset of action. These properties allow for quick recovery from clinical anesthesia. Because there is additional evidence that these agents have protective effects during myocardial ischemia, there may be advantages for 'fast tracking' patients undergoing coronary revascularization procedures.Keywords
