Abstract

Two deaths due to isoflurane abuse are reported. One case was a suicide and the other a multiple drug death including isoflurane. A simple headspace gas chromatographic method was used for isoflurane quantitation. A review of the literature did not reveal blood and tissue concentrations of isoflurane. Drug tissue distributions and a discussion of the toxicological findings are presented.
