isoflurane and Tetanus

isoflurane has been researched along with Tetanus in 1 studies

Isoflurane: A stable, non-explosive inhalation anesthetic, relatively free from significant side effects.

Tetanus: A disease caused by tetanospasmin, a powerful protein toxin produced by CLOSTRIDIUM TETANI. Tetanus usually occurs after an acute injury, such as a puncture wound or laceration. Generalized tetanus, the most common form, is characterized by tetanic muscular contractions and hyperreflexia. Localized tetanus presents itself as a mild condition with manifestations restricted to muscles near the wound. It may progress to the generalized form.
