[The agents related to anesthetic practice: preface and comments].
Every new agent appears from necessity, and a medical agent is not an exception. In the history of anesthesia, intravenous anesthetic agents with such properties as rapid onset and short acting, appear necessarily. Remifentanyl is an example. An agent with less adverse effect for reversal of nondepolarizing neuromuscular agents is expected to appear. It is cyclodextrin, Org25969 which entraps rocuronium resulting in its reversal. Two kinds of beta-blockers are in our hand to control perioperative cardiac events and they also show anti-stress effect at the same time. The newly biosynthesized antirheumatic agents will give patients relief from intolerable joints pain of rheumatic arthritis.
