Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The heat required to vaporize an anesthetic agent is drawn from the remaining liquid agent and from the surroundings. As vapor is generated and heat energy is lost, the temperatures of the vaporizer and the liquid agent fall. This causes the vapor pressure of the anesthetic to decrease.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most commonly used anesthetic gases are halothane, nitrous oxide, isoflurane, sevoflurane, and desflurane. The primary mode of administration is by inhalation through a face mask, laryngeal mask airway, or a tracheal tube.
