Safety, adverse effects, Anesthetic drugs, Anesthesia, Complications.Abstract
This work reviews the existing medical literature to explore the safety and possible adverse effects of the most common anesthetic drugs used in surgical and diagnostic contexts. Various factors were investigated, including the mechanisms of action of these drugs, their pharmacological profile, and the frequency of adverse reactions in different population groups and clinical conditions. Research sources included the Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science indexes, using the terms "Safety, Adverse effects, Anesthetic drugs, Anesthesia, Complications". The findings indicate that while anesthetic drugs are generally safe when correctly administered, it is essential to maintain constant monitoring to prevent complications, especially in more vulnerable patient groups such as the elderly and those with comorbidities.
