The main stay are the inhaled anesthetics; sevoflurane, desflurane, isoflurane and halothane.
They produce anesthesia at once and can be quickly counteracted. Lots of other meds are used depending
on the opperation. During the course in an opperation the patient may need deeper or lighter
anesthesia.The anesthesiologists tend to pay the most for malpractice insurance as they take you quite close to death.
