What pills do the anethiest use to me to sleep?
Answers:
If the anesthesiologist puts you to sleep, you are on General Anesthesia. These drugs can be administered through inhalation (such as sevoflurane, desflurane, isoflurane, halothane) or intravenously (Propofol, thiopental Na, ketamine).
Could be any of a lot of drugs. We all do things a little bit differently, and respectively anesthetic is tailored to the patient, procedure and surgeon and anesthesiologist's preferences.
Typically, we use something like propofol, etomidate or pentothal to put people sour to sleep, and a gas like sevoflurane or desflurane to keep them asleep. In addition, we use midazolam to provide amnesia, fentanyl, hydromorphone, morphine or similar drugs for niggle control, and many times, paralyzing agents to relax muscles.
There are numerous other drugs we use to control blood pressure, heart rate and other things that might go out of whack. Source(s): I'm an anesthesiologist (US) = anesthetist in the UK.
