Volatile anesthetics
Volatile anesthetics are medicines that are inhaled as gases or vapors to put patients into a controlled state of unconsciousness during surgeries. They help prevent awareness and reduce pain, allowing surgeons to operate safely. These drugs are carefully administered and monitored by anesthesia professionals to ensure safety and comfort. Examples include agents like sevoflurane and desflurane. They work by affecting brain activity and nerve signals, enabling a pain-free and unconscious experience without feeling or remembering the procedure.
