Volatile anesthetics are a class of anesthetic drugs that are administered in gaseous or vaporized form. They are primarily used for the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. These agents exert their effects by interacting with various targets in the central nervous system, leading to a reversible loss of consciousness, amnesia, analgesia, and muscle relaxation. The precise mechanisms of action are complex and involve modulation of ion channels and receptors in neurons.
Commonly used volatile anesthetics include sevoflurane, desflurane, isoflurane, and nitrous oxide. Each agent has distinct pharmacokinetic
The administration of volatile anesthetics is typically achieved through an anesthesia machine, which vaporizes the liquid
