Mechanism of action
Anesthesia maintenance is not a single drug but rather a clinical practice involving the ongoing delivery of intravenous or inhaled anesthetic agents (such as propofol, sevoflurane, or isoflurane) to maintain the desired depth of anesthesia throughout surgery. These agents work by depressing central nervous system activity, preventing awareness and pain perception during the procedure.
