General anesthesia is a therapeutically induced condition of unconsciousness; that is, loss of protective reflexes, which results from the use of one or multiple general anesthetic agents. The drug is administered to allow performing the medical procedures which are unbearably painful for the patient. A range of medicines can be administered, the overall aim of which is to ensure unconsciousness, analgesia, and loss of reflexes of the ANS or autonomic nervous system. In some cases, general anesthetic drugs are used for paralyzing the skeletal muscles.
Presently, there is a lack of consistency of technique in the general anesthetic field. Anesthesiologists have a preference for using one or a mixture of drugs. This choice depends upon the choice and experience of the physician or surgeon and the physiological state in which the patient is in. General anesthesia drugs are utilized in a number of surgeries. The general anesthesia drugs market is likely to be boosted by the rising number of surgeries including orthopedic, general surgeries, cardiac, and others throughout the globe. Moreover, advancements in the anesthesia drug delivery methods, such as jet injection, inhalation and computer controlled anesthesia delivery systems will further encourage the general anesthesia drugs industry. Nevertheless, lack of proper health care facilities especially in the underdeveloped countries as well as in remote areas, presence of few anesthetists and certified nurse per capita of population are likely to inhibit the growth of the general anesthesia drugs market.
