Study Notes
Inhalational Anesthesia
- Inhalational anesthetics are primarily used for maintaining anesthesia.
- They are administered via face mask, laryngeal mask airway, or tracheal tube linked to an anesthetic vaporizer.
- The minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) is used to measure the dose of inhalational anesthetics.
- Inhalational anesthetics are classified into gases and volatile agents.
- Halothane, a halogenated hydrocarbon, is a volatile inhalational anesthetic, not a gas.
