Publisher's Synopsis
This work proposes a new balanced anaesthesia based on the molecule oriented pin-point targeted drugs. Recent advances in the neurosciences are heralding the advent of new neuroscience- and molecular and cellular biology-based drugs. The Asian and Oceanic Society for Intravenous Anesthesia (AOSIVA), established in 1996, invited lectures that were selected based on the concept of the historical developments of volatile aneasthetics that are related to the adverse responses provoked by surgical insults.
