A general anaesthetic that is given by inhalation.<\/p>\n

\n

Aa potent general anesthetic administered by inhalation, used for inducing and maintaining anesthesia in all types of surgical operations. Reduced blood pressure and irregular heartbeat may occur during halothane anesthesia.<\/p>\n

\n

A volatile liquid anaesthetic, used for many years as a potent inhalant anaesthetic. It provides smooth induction of anaesthesia and is non-irritant and pleasant to inhale. A few patients have an idiosyncrasy to halothane, putting them at risk if it is used frequently, so a careful history is essential before it is administered to a patient.<\/p>\n

Halothane is a colorless liquid that is inhaled in vapor form to initiate and sustain general anesthesia. Frequent use of halothane can potentially harm the liver, which is why its use has become less common today.<\/p>\n
