Inhalational Anesthesia Open Access Journals

Inhalational anaesthetics are used for the induction and maintenance of general anaesthesia also as sedation. The exact mechanisms by which they act are still unknown. The most common inhalational anesthetics are sevoflurane, desflurane, and laughing gas . Of these, sevoflurane is that the commonest due to its rapid onset of action and therefore the incontrovertible fact that patients recover quickly from it. Inhalational anesthetics cause respiratory depression, a decrease in blood pressure and cerebral metabolic demand, and a rise in cerebral blood flow. While side effects differ supported the substance (e.g., halothane can cause hepatotoxicity), the foremost common side effect is nausea.

• Inhalational anesthetics provide both analgesia and narcosis and can be used for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia.

• The exact mechanism of action of inhalational anesthetics is still unknown.

• The most widely used inhalational anesthetics are:

• Nitrous oxide

• Desflurane

• Sevoflurane
