In the operating room one would assume there would be heavy medications to put patients asleep. Describe the difference in color between Propofol, Narcan, Pentothal, and Sublimaze. Others would be Ketamine, Nitrous Oxide, Versed, and Anectine, describe the state these drugs would cause patients to be in.

Expert Solution

Propofol is white fluid which is opaque in nature. This opacity and the colour is due to very tiny oil droplets which are present in it.

Narcan is pale skin or grey in colour.

Penthothal is clear transparent liquid.

Sublimaze is also clear transparent liquid.

Ketamine too is clear transparent liquid.

Nitrous oxide is colourless gas with has a sweet smell.

Versed is midazolam which is clear transparent liquid placed in brown glass bottle.

Anectine too is clear transparent liquid which contains succinyl cholinesterase.

Effect of these drugs on the patient state :

Propofol is a sedative and causes the patient to lose consciousness and hence used to maintain this consciousness level in general anesthesia .
Narcan is a antidote for heavy sedation. It helps the person to gain consciousness within minutes.
Penthothal is short acting barbiturate with sedative action used in general anaesthesia.
Sublimaze is an opioid used as pain killer along with other medications.
Ketamine provides the trans state of sedation.
Nitrous oxide provides sedative effect.
Versed too provides mild sedative effect along with pain relief property.
Anectine provides sedative effect along with muscle relaxant property.

Thank you.
