Anaesthetic gas with maximum respiratory irritation
Correct Answer: Desflurane
Description: * Desflurane, unlike halothane or sevoflurane has a pungent smell which makes it unpleasant for inhalational induction. * When more than 6% desflurane is used, the pungency produces salivation, airway irritation, breath holding and coughing.
