    An inhalational anesthetic is a chemical compound possessing general anesthetic properties that can be delivered via inhalation. They are administered through a face mask, laryngeal mask airway or tracheal tube connected to an anesthetic vaporiser and an anesthetic delivery system.

  1. inhalation anesthetic

    An inhalation anesthetic is a type of medication, typically in gas or vapor form, that is inhaled through a breathing mask or tube and used to induce and maintain a state of unconsciousness or sedation during surgical procedures. It works by depressing the central nervous system, effectively eliminating pain and sensation. Common examples include nitrous oxide, desflurane, isoflurane, and sevoflurane. These anesthetics are commonly used because they can be easily controlled and reversed and generally have fewer side effects compared to other forms of anesthesia.
