Qualifier English: Anesthetics, Inhalation
Qualifier Spanish: Anestésicos por Inhalación
Descriptor anestésicos inhalatorios
Entry term(s) anestésico inhalatorio
Scope note: Gases o líquidos volátiles que varían en su velocidad de inducción de la anestesia, potencia, grado de depresión circulatoria, respiratoria o neuromuscular que inducen, así como en sus efectos analgésicos. Los anestésicos inhalatorios tienen la ventaja, respecto a los anestésicos intravenosos, de que la profundidad de la anestesia puede modificarse rápidamente alterando la concentración inhalada. Dada su rápida eliminación, cualquier depresión respiratoria postoperatoria que se produzca tiene una duración relativamente breve (AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p173)

Scope note: Gases or volatile liquids that vary in the rate at which they induce anesthesia; potency; the degree of circulation, respiratory, or neuromuscular depression they produce; and analgesic effects. Inhalation anesthetics have advantages over intravenous agents in that the depth of anesthesia can be changed rapidly by altering the inhaled concentration. Because of their rapid elimination, any postoperative respiratory depression is of relatively short duration. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p173)
