Ethyl Ethers Categories.
 |
Ether, Ethyl - A mobile, very volatile, highly flammable liquid used as an inhalation anesthetic and as a solvent for waxes, fats, oils, perfumes, alkaloids, and gums. It is mildly irritating to skin and mucous membranes. |
|
Flurothyl - A convulsant primarily used in experimental animals. It was formerly used to induce convulsions as a alternative to electroshock therapy. |
|
Methoxyflurane - An inhalation anesthetic. Currently, methoxyflurane is rarely used for surgical, obstetric, or dental anesthesia. If so employed, it should be administered with NITROUS OXIDE to achieve a relatively light level of anesthesia, and a neuromuscular blocking agent given concurrently to obtain the desired degree of muscular relaxation.
