| umls-concept:C0025688 | skos:definition | MSH: An inhalation anesthetic. Currently, methoxyflurane is rarely used for surgical, obstetric, or dental anesthesia. If so employed, it should be administered with NITROUS OXIDE to achieve a relatively light level of anesthesia, and a neuromuscular blocking agent given concurrently to obtain the desired degree of muscular relaxation. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p180),CSP: highly potent inhalation anesthetic used primarily to produce analgesia during the first stage of labor; use limited by dose related nephrotoxicity. | lld:umls |
