What are the names of common anesthesia medications?
I'm an anesthesiologist. The drug you list is not familiar to me. The closest I can think of is remifentanil (a narcotic). or romazicon (reversal agent)





We use different drugs for different things.





For general anesthesia, we use a drug to get people off to sleep (induction) - common induction agents are propofol, etomidate, pentothal, ketamine. To keep people asleep, we usually use inhalation anesthetics, such as isoflurane, desflurane, sevoflurane, possibly with nitrous oxide. We may also use a paralyzing agent such as succinylcholine, rocuronium, vecuronium, atracurium, cisatracurium or pancuronium. For pain relief, we typically use a narcotic such as fentanyl, morphine, hydrocodone, alfentanil, or sufentanil. Many patients also get midazolam, which is a sedative and amnestic.





For neuraxial (spinal/epidural) regional (nerve blocks) or local anesthetics, we use drugs called "local anesthetics". Common local anesthetics are lidocaine, procaine, bupivicaine, tetracaine, chloroprocaine (pretty much anything that ends in "caine" is a local anesthetic)





Patients may also get drugs to prevent nausea, reverse the paralyzing agents, raise or lower blood pressure or heart rate, or treat anything else that might come up.





Hope that helps.





(Many of the drugs listed by "The Nurse" are not anesthetic drugs, but may be given in the perioperative period; some of the anesthetic drugs that are listed are no longer used)
Reply:lidocaine,xylocaine,lignocaine,ether,cyc... is given by the nurse that ondansetron etc are used ,but this are not anaesthetics,they are pre anaesthethic medications.anaesthetics are mainly local and general .local acts locally,does not have any effect on the CNS,while general anaesthetics like the thiopentone have cns depressing activity
Reply:Here are some common anaesthetics:


nitrous oxide


ethoxyethane


trichlorometane


cyclopropane


halothane





hope that helps
Reply:Ketamine's one, but that's a different drug... kind of an alternative to morphine.
