Anesthetics

Definition

Anesthetics is a substance that causes a general loss of the senses, as pain, heat, cold, touch, and other common sensations.

Biological Functions

Anesthetics are infrequently used without the administration of other drugs.Many of these drug combinations can interact to alter MAC requirements. For example, inhalational anesthetics used in combination appear to have an additive effect on the level of unconsciousness. Therefore, when a combination of inhalational agents is used (e.g., N₂O with halothane), MAC values for the individual agents can be reduced appropriately. In this regard, an acceptable anesthetic maintenance tension for N₂O and halothane in the inspired air may be 40% and 0.5%, respectively.
