Inhaled anaesthetics - what does this mean

Inhaled anaesthetics are drugs that are breathed in through the nose or mouth to produce a state of unconsciousness and lack of sensation during medical procedures. they work by disrupting the normal functioning of the central nervous system, allowing the patient to remain unconscious and unaware of pain during surgery.

What happens during the disease - inhaled anaesthetics

Inhaled anaesthetics cause a reduction in the threshold for neuronal excitation, leading to an overall decrease in the body's ability to respond to stimuli. this can lead to a sedative effect, muscle relaxation, and ultimately a loss of consciousness. the anaesthetic will also reduce the body's ability to regulate its temperature, leading to hypothermia, and can cause a decrease in blood pressure and heart rate.

Inhaled anaesthetics - Prevention

The prevention of inhaled anaesthetics is mostly achieved through proper safety protocols in the operating room. this includes using the correct type and dosage of anaesthetic for the patient, ensuring proper ventilation, and using appropriate protective equipment for the medical staff. additionally, proper training and education of medical staff on the safe use and handling of anaesthetics is essential to prevent adverse reactions and complications.
