Q

examples of when to use injectable anesthetics

A

short general anesthesia-dx, minor procedures

induction-intubation, follow with inhalant

longer periods of anesthesia-MRI, bronchoscopy, where inhalants are unavailable/CI

Q

why not just injectables?

A

most procedures take > 20 minutes

difficult to achieve triad for long periods

recovery based on redistribution and metabolism

recovery may be unpredictable, prolonged, rough

depth is difficult to control
