Nonflammable, halogenated, hydrocarbon, inhalation anesthetic that provides relatively slow induction with increased excitation of the tissue
General inhalation anesthetic used to induce and maintain general anesthesia
General anesthetic administered intravenously to induce muscle relaxation
What is the mechanism of action of halothane?Halothane depresses nerve conduction by binding to Na+ channels in cholinergic neurons
Halothane produces loss of consciousness by binding to Acetylcholine receptors causing hyperpolarization
Halothane’s effect are likely due to binding to Mg2+ channels causing hyperpolarization
Halothane induces immobilization of muscles by binding to K+ channels in cholinergic neurons
