Single and multiple sevoflurane exposures during pregnancy and offspring behavior in mice

ConclusionOur study suggests that neither single nor multiple exposures of mice to sevoflurane during the fetal developmental period induces long‐term behavioral dysfunctions or affects long‐term synaptic plasticity. Additional studies focusing on early stages of neurodevelopment are necessary to confirm the effects of sevoflurane exposure during pregnancy.
