Unique ID: D018686
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018686
Annotation: see note at ANESTHETICS
Scope Note: Ultrashort-acting anesthetics that are used for induction. Loss of consciousness is rapid and induction is pleasant, but there is no muscle relaxation and reflexes frequently are not reduced adequately. Repeated administration results in accumulation and prolongs the recovery time. Since these agents have little if any analgesic activity, they are seldom used alone except in brief minor procedures.
