Are Local Anesthetics and General Anesthetics Different? [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2014
It is widely believed that general and local anesthetics act by different mechanisms. While there is general agreement that the mode of action of general anesthetics is poorly understood, local anesthetics are believed to block voltage-gated sodium channels and thereby affect action potentials in nerves.

Structural interplay of anesthetics and paralytics on muscle nicotinic receptors

Nature Communications, 2023
General anesthetics and neuromuscular blockers are used together during surgery to stabilize patients in an unconscious state. Anesthetics act mainly by potentiating inhibitory ion channels and inhibiting excitatory ion channels, with the net effect of ...

Volatile anesthetics maintain tidal volume and minute ventilation to a greater degree than propofol under spontaneous respiration

BMC Anesthesiology, 2021
Background Although general anesthetics depress spontaneous respiration, the comprehensive effect of general anesthetics on respiratory function remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the effects of general anesthetics on spontaneous respiration in non-

General anesthetic binding mode via hydration with weak affinity and molecular discrimination: General anesthetic dissolution in interfacial water of the common binding site of GABAA receptor

Biophysics and Physicobiology, 2023
The GABAA receptor (GABAAR) is a target channel for the loss of awareness of general anesthesia. General anesthetic (GA) spans a wide range of chemical structures, such as monatomic molecules, barbital acids, phenols, ethers, and alkanes.

A Double-Edged Sword: Volatile Anesthetic Effects on the Neonatal Brain

Brain Sciences, 2014
The use of volatile anesthetics, a group of general anesthetics, is an exceedingly common practice. These anesthetics may have neuroprotective effects. Over the last decade, anesthetic induced neurotoxicity in pediatric populations has gained a certain ...
