What is anesthetic gas?
Anesthetic gas is a gas that causes temporary loss of consciousness and physical feeling. Anesthetic gases cause general anesthesia or overall loss of consciousness rather than local or regional anesthesia, which blocks only in specific parts of the body. Anesthetic gas is often used in modern medicine, either by itself or in combination with intravenous anesthetics to maintain unconscious patients during surgery. A physician trained to administer anesthetics is called anesthesiologist or anesthesiotic. Although it is common in modern medicine, a mechanism that is still uncertain anesthetic gas. Most of the Ether Ethers are also part of the division of ethers called halogenic ethers, which replace at least one of the atoms of hydrogen in non -naked ethers atoms of one of the halogen elements and are less flammable than other ethers. Halogenated Ethera most Commonly Used for anesthesia Today Are Desflurane (2,2,2-Trifluoru-1-Fluoruethyl-Difluoromethyl ether), withEvoflurane (2,2,2-trifluoru-1- [trifluoromethyl] ethyl fluoromethyl ether), and isoflurane (2-chlor-2- (diffluoromethoxy) -1,1,1-trifluor-ethane). They are used either by themselves, in combination with each other or in combination with nitrous oxide. In addition to Ethers, other halogenized organic compounds are also effective anesthetic gases, although they are no longer used in the developed world for anesthesia.
Although absorbed by the patient in gaseous form, ether and other halogenic organic anesthetics can actually be stored in liquid form at room temperature. Due to their high volatility, they quickly evaporate when they are not contained. A device called anesthetic evaporator, which is bound to a anesthesia machine, is used to administer patients.
Other anesthetic gases are stored in gaseous form. Oxide nitrous (n 2 ) is anesthetic gas, although not strong enough to cause losingThe consciousness itself and always used in combination with other gases or intravenous anesthetics. Lodery gas xenon was also introduced as a general anesthetic, although it remains very expensive. Nitrogen, Krypton and Argon have anesthetic effects when inhaled in the hyperbaric environment.
The first anesthetic gas used, diethylether (C 2 h 5 ) 2 o), is dangerously flammable and is no longer widely used when less dangerous halogenated ethers are easily available. Other Ethers, which have largely released, include enflurane (2-chlor-1,1,2, -trifluorethyl-difluormylether) and methoxyfluran (2,2-dichlor-1,1-difluoruethylhylethher). Independent hydrocarbons, halothan (2-brom-2-chlor-1,1,1-trifluoreethane), chloroform (MCL3) and trichloroethene (1,1,2-trichlorethene), w), w, w, were one widely used in the developed world for general anesthesia. Some of these gases are still used for anestEzia in poorer countries where modern anesthetic gases are not easily accessible or available.
