stage 1 of anesthesia
Analgesia, Amnesia, Stupor, but NOT loss of consciousness
stage 2 of anesthesia
Excitement or delirium
stage 3 of anesthesia
Surgical anesthesia:
-unconsciousness
-block of somatic & autonomic response to a painful stimulus
-high voltage slow wave (HVSW) EEG
stage 4 of anesthesia
Medullary depression:
-respiratory/CV depression
-flat EEG (burst suppression)
During a surgical procedure, which stage does the anesthesiologist try to achieve?
stage 3

volatile agent: can achieve only stages 1 or 2 of anesthesia (not stage 3)
nitrous oxide
volatile agent that may increase bp
nitrous oxide
volatile agent used as a frame of reference for stages of anesthesia
ether
volatile agent: peroxides formed by this drug can evaporate ==> explosion
ether
volatile agent: NO cardiac effects--circulatory stability
ether
volatile agent: irriating ==> (+) n/v
ether
volatile agent: most irritating drug
