Hypocapnic Bronchoconstriction and Inhalation Anesthetics
Anesthesiology, 1975The effects of halothane, enflurane, and methoxyflurane on hypocapnic bronchoconstriction (increased airway resistance and decreased compliance of the lung) were studied in vivo in the isolated left lower lobe of the canine lung. Hypocapnic bronchoconstriction, induced by altering the concentration of CO2 in gas ventilating the lobe, was repeated in ...

Inhalational anesthetics: Desflurane and sevoflurane
Journal of Clinical Anesthesia, 1995This article reviews the physico-chemical properties and performance characteristics of the two new potent inhaled anesthetics, desflurane and sevoflurane. Both drugs provide a greater degree of control of anesthetic depth and a more rapid immediate recovery from anesthesia than is currently available with other inhaled agents because of their ...

The pharmacology of inhaled anesthetics
Seminars in Anesthesia, Perioperative Medicine and Pain, 2005The two most popular potent inhaled anesthetics, desflurane and sevoflurane, differ in pharmacological advantages and disadvantages in sometimes subtle and sometimes obvious ways. Sevoflurane has a low solubility and absent pungency that makes it easy to use and is the anesthetic of choice for an inhalational induction of anesthesia.

Inhaled anesthetics: an historical overview
Best Practice & Research Clinical Anaesthesiology, 2005Inhalational agents have played a pivotal role in anesthesia history. The first publicly demonstrated anesthetic of the modern era, diethyl ether, was an inhalational anesthetic. The attributes of a good agent, ability to rapidly induce anesthesia, with limited side effects has led research efforts for over a hundred and fifty years.

A History of Inhaled Anesthetics [PDF]
, 2014 Valerius Cordus synthesized diethyl ether in 1540 and shortly thereafter Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim (Paracelsus) noted that it could diminish pain. Priestley synthesized nitrous oxide in 1774, and in 1800, Davy found that it decreased pain and suggested its use for surgery.

Fluorinated Inhalation Anesthetics
1994No class of chemical compounds has contributed more toward the elimination of hospital trauma than anesthetics. These drugs have changed the operating room from a chamber of horrors to a place where medical care is provided in a tranquil atmosphere to some 50 million patients every year.
