- Methods of Delivery: Inhalational anesthetics are delivered via inhalation, typically using a vaporizer connected to a breathing circuit.
Volatile Anesthetic Agents
- Examples: Examples of volatile anesthetic agents include sevoflurane, isoflurane, and desflurane.
Previously-Used Inhalational Anesthetic Agents
- Examples: Diethyl ether, halothane, and enflurane were previously used as inhalational anesthetic agents but are no longer commonly used.
Widely Used Inhalational Anesthetic Agent in Developing World
- Example: Halothane is still widely used in some developing countries due to its low cost and availability.
Non-Inhalational Anesthetic Agents
