Fluorinated Anesthetics

Fluorinated anesthetics are a group of gases used to put patients to sleep and prevent pain during surgery. They contain fluorine atoms, which make them effective and easily adjustable for different procedures. These agents work by affecting brain activity, leading to unconsciousness while minimizing other side effects. They are administered through inhalation and have rapid onset and recovery times, making them valuable in anesthesia practice. Due to their fluorinated structure, they are stable, non-flammable, and have predictable effects, helping ensure patient safety during surgical procedures.
