Intravenous Anesthetics

Intravenous anesthetics are a diverse pharmacological class of centrally acting agents administered parenterally to induce and maintain general anesthesia or provide procedural sedation These medications primarily exert their therapeutic effects by modulating central neurotransmission, most commonly enhancing inhibitory gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor activity or antagonizing excitatory N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors to produce rapid hypnosis, amnesia, and depression of central nervous s...
