Many different drugs are used as general anaesthetics. They’re either inhalation anaesthetics or intravenous anaesthetics, according to the method of delivery. These two types can be...")

While inhaled anaesthetics can be “fast-acting”, they’re still relatively slow and need a few minutes to kick in. Intravenous anaesthetics can cause anaesthesia in as little as 20 second. The anaesthetic effect stops when...") Tag: Visual edit: Switched

These are lipid-soluble, hydrophobic drugs.

The risk is higher in preterms and newborns. As always, a detailed history should be taken. It’s important to know about the vaccines, as 2 – 10 days must pass between vaccines and anaesthesia....")

Will it make intubation difficult? * Has the patient fasted? * Are muscle relaxants needed? * Will the surgery influence the anaesthesia somehow?
