Once the IVs are completed, a saline flush is initiated and the criminal is covered by a sheet. After he/ she has been covered, the first injection of Pentothal (Sodium Thiopental) is given. This first injection induces unconsciousness, awaiting the next injection. Then they are given an injection of Pavulon. Pavulon is a nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocker, which anesthetizes all of the bodies muscles causing muscle paralysis and respiratory arrest. The last injection given is potassium chloride.
