As early as 1930s, people realized that xenon, a rare gas, had anesthetic effect. However, the problem that xenon is heavier than air and will be deposited in the lungs has not been solved, so the use of xenon as an anesthetic has been greatly limited.
The new method developed by Professor George is to dissolve xenon in fat solvent and then inject it into patients who need surgery by intravenous injection. This method can greatly reduce the dosage of anesthetic, such as anesthesia for 2 hours, and the dosage of xenon will be reduced from the conventional requirement of 12 to 150 ml.
According to Professor Geotiff, this new xenon anesthesia method also has the advantage that patients will regain consciousness more quickly and be fully awake, and there will be no adverse effects on patients' respiratory function during the operation.
Professor George has tried this new method on himself many times. At present, the patent application for this invention is also in progress, but it is estimated that this new anesthesia method will take 2-3 years before it is allowed to be used.
