Ensure that all equipment and medications deemed necessary for the procedure to be performed are readily accessible and in working order before induction of anesthesia.
Anesthesia is typically maintained using inhalant anesthetics, although maintenance can also be achieved with continuous infusions or intermittent doses of injectable agents, or a combination of injectable and inhalant drugs.
Recovery is a critical phase of anesthesia that includes a continuation of patient support, monitoring, and record keeping. It begins when the anesthetic gas is turned off. It does not end at the time of extubation.
A comprehensive individualized anes-thetic plan will minimize perioperative morbidity and optimize perioperative conditions.
