Anesthetic gases

Anesthetic gases are medications used to induce unconsciousness and block sensation during surgery. They are inhaled through a mask or breathing tube, quickly reaching the brain to ensure the patient feels no pain or awareness. These gases are carefully controlled by anesthesiologists to maintain a safe, stable level of anesthesia. Common gases include inhaled agents like sevoflurane, isoflurane, and nitrous oxide. They work by altering brain activity, preventing pain signals, and relaxing muscles. Once the procedure is finished, the gases are turned off, allowing the patient to recover consciousness gradually.
