Entry term(s) anestésico intravenoso
Scope note: Anestésicos de acción ultrabreve que se utilizan para inducir la anestesia. La pérdida de conciencia es rápida y la inducción es agradable, aunque no producen relajación muscular y con frecuencia los reflejos no disminuyen adecuadamente. La administración repetida causa una acumulación y prolonga el tiempo de recuperación. Dado que estos fármacos tienen escasa actividad analgésica, de tener alguna, en contadas ocasiones se utilizan solos, a no ser en procedimientos menores breves.

Scope note: Ultrashort-acting anesthetics that are used for induction. Loss of consciousness is rapid and induction is pleasant, but there is no muscle relaxation and reflexes frequently are not reduced adequately. Repeated administration results in accumulation and prolongs the recovery time. Since these agents have little if any analgesic activity, they are seldom used alone except in brief minor procedures. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p174)
