Entry term(s) anestésico general
Scope note: Fármacos que inducen diversos grados de analgesia, depresión de la conciencia, la circulación y la respiración, relajación del músculo esquelético, reducción de la actividad refleja, además de amnesia. Existen dos tipos de anestésicos generales: inhalatorios e intravenosos. Con ambos tipos, la concentración de fármaco en sangre arterial que se precisa para inducir la anestesia varía según la situación del paciente, la profundidad de anestesia que se pretende obtener y el uso concomitante de otros fármacos (AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p.173)

Scope note: Agents that induce various degrees of analgesia; depression of consciousness, circulation, and respiration; relaxation of skeletal muscle; reduction of reflex activity; and amnesia. There are two types of general anesthetics, inhalation and intravenous. With either type, the arterial concentration of drug required to induce anesthesia varies with the condition of the patient, the desired depth of anesthesia, and the concomitant use of other drugs.
