By our researches we have established in what consists the generic difference between inhalation anesthetics and narcotics.
This observation may explain in part the remarkable success of the method of resuscitation devised by me, in which animals "killed" by anesthetics and asphyxia are revived by the use of adrenalin.
If this be true, then it is probable that inhalation anesthetics exert their peculiar influence upon that portion of the brain through which sleep itself is produced.

Deaths from general anesthetics in persons apparently able to bear them well, are extremely numerous.
Schleich has found that its use, in conjunction with minute quantities of cocaine, permitted of a reduction of the entire amount of anesthetics necessary to accomplish insensibility.
He employed weak solutions of cocaine and other local anesthetics in great volumes of water in order to gain the combined action of both drug and of pressure.
This is the method of Schleich and it is to him that the credit must be given for a procedure which has done more to encourage the use of local anesthetics in operative surgery than any other.
The Comparative Values of Some Local Anesthetics by H.
The organism destroys most local anesthetics so rapidly that the rate of absorption is more important than the absolute dose.
In general, no therapeutic claims are made for these mixtures so far as the hypophosphites are concerned.
The addition of hypophosphites to such mixtures is irrational and, since it tends to perpetuate the hypophosphite fallacy, detrimental to sound therapeutics.

The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "anesthetics" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
