Etomidate nonbarbituate anesthetic/no analgesic effect/side effects include myoclonus, suppression of adrenal function and postoperative nausea and vomiting
Opiods Fentanyl, alfentanil,sufentanil
opiods reduce pain/ used for general anesthesia when circulatory stability is important
Benzodiazepines, intermediate acting barbituates diazepam, lorazepam, midazolam, pentobarbital

isoflurane rapid induction and emergence/ good analgesic and sedative/pungent, irritating/ cardiovascular system depressant
Enflurane rapid induction and recovery/ good analgesic, muscle relaxant, hypnosis/ pungent/cardiovascular depressant
Halothane fair analgesic and skeletal muscle relaxant, excellent hypnotic/ rapid induction/ cardiovascular depression, unpredictable epatotoxicity/ sensitizes heart to catecholamines, producing extrasystole and arrythmias
Nitrous oxide good anestheticand analgesic no muscle relaxant properties
oil case partition coefficient measures solubility of anesthetic in tissue/ higher coefficient the more potent
minimum alveolar concentration concentration that result sin immobility in 50% of patients when exposed to noxious stimuli
commonly used inhaled anesthetics nitrous oxide, halothane, enflurane, isoflurane,sevoflurane
stage I analgesia, amnesia
stage II loss of conciousness
stage III surgical anesthesia Loss of eyelash reflex
