A wide variety of drugs are used in modern anaesthetic practice. Many are rarely used outside of anaesthesia, although others are used commonly by all disciplines. Some of the prominent ones include:
- local anaesthetics
- general anaesthetics
- inhalational anaesthetics
- volatile anaesthetics
- desflurane
- sevoflurane
- isoflurane
- halothane
- enflurane
- methoxyflurane
- nitrous oxide
- xenon
- volatile anaesthetics
- intravenous anaesthetics
- propofol
- etomidate
- barbiturates
- methohexital
- thiopentone/thiopental
- benzodiazepines
- ketamine
- inhalational anaesthetics
- analgesics
- opioids
- morphine
- fentanyl
- alfentanil
- sufentanil
- remifentanil
- methadone
- meperidine / pethidine
- NSAIDs
- opioids
- muscle relaxants
- depolarising muscle relaxants
- succinylcholine, also known as suxamethonium
- nondepolarising (curare-like) muscle relaxants
- atracurium
- cisatracurium
- vecuronium
- rocuronium
- mivacurium
- tubocurarine
- pancuronium bromide
- depolarising muscle relaxants
- vasoconstrictors, also known as vasopressors
- phenylephrine
- ephedrine
- metaraminol
- antiemetics: phenothiazines, e.g.: prochlorperazine, promethazine, cyclizine;
butyrophenones, e.g.: droperidol; antihistamines, e.g.: dimenhydrinate (old); newer agents: ondansetron and tropisetron, and granisetron; steroids, e.g.: dexamethasone; and lastly, metoclopramide (variable efficacy).
