Inhalational Anesthetics

Inhalational anesthetics are gases or vapors used to put patients into a controlled, temporary unconscious state during surgery. They are inhaled through a mask or breathing tube and work by affecting the brain's nerve signals, making pain feel numb and the patient unaware. These anesthetics allow surgeons to perform procedures safely and comfortably. Common examples include sevoflurane, isoflurane, and desflurane. They are carefully managed by anesthesiologists to ensure proper depth of anesthesia, rapid onset, and quick recovery after surgery.
