This course gives anesthesia providers a clear, clinically grounded understanding of how modern inhaled agents work—from their receptor-level effects on inhibitory and excitatory pathways to how solubility and uptake shape induction, maintenance, and emergence in both pediatric and adult patients. You’ll review practical applications for OR and procedural sedation, learn how to anticipate cardiorespiratory effects, and recognize key toxicities including carbon monoxide formation, fluoride-related nephrotoxicity, and nitrous oxide–associated hematologic risks. By the end, you’ll be better equipped to tailor inhaled anesthetic plans to individual patients while minimizing complications and optimizing recovery.
