Mechanisms of Actions of Inhaled Anesthetics
Abstract
“Suffering so great as I underwent cannot be expressed in words . . . but the blank whirlwind of emotion, the horror of great darkness, and the sense of desertion by God and man, which swept through my mind, and overwhelmed my heart, I can never forget.”1 Such was the experience of surgery before October 1846, when William Morton's successful public demonstration of ether anesthesia at Massachusetts General Hospital led to its widespread acceptance by surgeons. Today, anesthesiologists employ a wide variety of drugs, some of which they use exclusively to produce general anesthesia.2,3 This review focuses on the . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
