A member asked:
Could every anesthesia need to be injected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: In the United States, anesthesia for surgery is almost always provided by intravenous induction (propofol, sodium pentothal/ barbital, etomidate) you can also perform inhalation induction via anesthetic gases, but this is usually reserved for children.
