Drug Aim
Intravenous anesthesia Inhalational anesthesia 1- Anxiolytic (e.g. Benzodiazepines) Anxiolysis, sedation & amnesia
° Thiopentone sodium ° Halothane 2- Analgesics (e.g. Opioids) || sympatho-adrenal response
° Propofol ° Isoflurane 4- Antiemetics (e.g. Metoclopramide) Prevent aspiration - || postoperative vomiting
° Ketamine ° Sevoflurane 3- Anticholinergics (e.g. Atropine) || vagal reflexes - || secretions
5- Antihistaminics Hl blockers —> prevent allergic reaction
(Hl & H2 blockers) H2 blockers —> || gastric secretions
