Inhaled anesthetics have been in clinical use for over 150 years and are still commonly used in daily practice. The initial view of inhaled anesthetics as indispensable for general anesthesia has evolved during the years and, currently, its general use has even been questioned. Beyond the traditional risks inherent to any drug in use, inhaled anesthetics are exceptionally strong greenhouse gases (GHG) and may pose considerable occupational risks. An important characteristic of inhalation anesthetics is the speed with which anesthetic concentrations in arterial blood follow changes in drug concentrations in inhaled air. The lungs are the only quantitatively important organ through which the anesthetic reaches and leaves the body. All inhalational anesthetics are small, lip soluble molecules that cross the alveolar membrane very easily The goal of the research presented in the paper using the case report method is to indicate the importance of implementing standardized health care in children, when applying inhalational anesthesia, as well as showing the total number of side effects of inhalational anesthetics. The research results are presented in the paper.
