I was wondering what are some common drugs used to make up general anesthesia?

Volatile anesthetics: General anesthesia is commonly initiated with propofol, an intravenous anesthetic, to render the patient unconscious. General anesthesia is then usually maintained with inhaled volatile anesthetics through a breathing tube. Opioids and other medications may be used to supplement the volatile anesthetic during general anesthesia.
