      methoxyflurane
  - nitrous oxide
  - xenon
- intravenous anaesthetics
  - propofol
    etomidate
  - barbiturates
    - methohexital
      thiopentone/thiopental
  - benzodiazepines
    - midazolam

  - succinylcholine, also known as suxamethonium
- nondepolarising (curare-like) muscle relaxants
  - atracurium
    cisatracurium
    vecuronium
    rocuronium
    mivacurium

    pancuronium bromide
vasoconstrictors, also known as vasopressors
- phenylephrine
- ephedrine
- metaraminol
antiemetics: phenothiazines, e.g.: prochlorperazine, promethazine, cyclizine;

butyrophenones, e.g.: droperidol; antihistamines, e.g.: dimenhydrinate (old); newer agents: ondansetron and tropisetron, and granisetron; steroids, e.g.: dexamethasone; and lastly, metoclopramide (variable efficacy).
