Abstract

Injectable anaesthetics are used either for induction of anaesthesia followed by maintenance with an inhalational anaesthetic agent, or as a sole agent to induce and maintain anaesthesia. This chapter deals with venous access, injectable anaesthetics, neuroleptanalgesia and total intravenous anaesthesia.
