Inhalational anaesthetics<br />
• No mutagenic effects ( N 2 O, E,I,D,S )<br />
• No carcinogenic effects<br />
• N 2 O is the only inhaled anaesthetic that has<br />
been convincingly shown to be directly<br />
teratogenic in experimental animals<br />
• Interference with DNA synthesis (methionine<br />
synthethase)<br />
• Consensus: any teratogenic effects caused<br />
by changes in physiology !<br />
