← ScienceWhich risk during anesthesia increases because sevoflurane degrades?
A)Nephrotoxic compound increases✓
B)Reduced agent concentration
C)Rapid ventricular arrhythmia
D)Increased blood coagulation
💡 Explanation
Increased concentrations of Compound A can result from sevoflurane degradation within anesthesia machines because of the Lewis acid catalysis that's happening in the CO₂ absorbents; therefore, it will increase risk to kidneys rather than the anesthetic effects, which would decrease.
