    Study Notes

    Anesthesia Phases

    • The phase characterized by the prevention of awareness of and response to pain is known as Analgesia.

    Pre-Anesthetics

    • The primary aim of using pre-anesthetics is to reduce anxiety and make patients comfortable before anesthesia.

    Anesthetic Agents and Analgesia

    • The route of administration associated with the classification of anesthetic agents and analgesia is oral, intramuscular, intravenous, or inhalation.

    Induction Agents

    • The characteristic feature of induction agents used in anesthesia is that they have a rapid onset of action and short duration.

    Anticholinergic Agents

    • The main function of anticholinergic agents used in anesthesia is to reduce salivation, bronchial secretions, and intraocular pressure.

    Induction of Anesthesia

    • The common route for the induction of anesthesia is intravenous.

    Chemical Restraint

    • The agent commonly used to induce calmness for chemical restraint is midazolam.

    Neuromuscular Blockers

    • The principal effect of Neuromuscular Blockers is to relax skeletal muscles.

    Anticholinergic Effects

    • Anticholinergic agents are used to decrease salivation, GIT motility, and tear production, while increasing heart rate.

    Anti-Emetic Agents

    • The kind of drugs recommended by practitioners because they produce less nausea and vomiting in patients are 5-HT3 antagonists.
