TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Pharmacokinetics of Inhalational Agents A1 - Philip, James H. A2 - Johnson, Ken B. Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Clinical Pharmacology for Anesthesiology AB - The kinetics of inhaled anesthetics is fundamental to the clinical practice of anesthesia.1 This subject is often called uptake and distribution of anesthetics.2 It explains the time course of anesthetic movement from the delivery system to the site of action, the patient's central nervous system. Although the site of action of inhaled anesthetic agents includes the brain and spinal cord, “brain” will be used alone in the remainder of this chapter. See Chapter 1 for further discussion of anesthesia site of action.
