Nanotechnology is defined as the art and science of assembling objects on a scale under 100 nanometers in length. The concept of nanotechnology was first propounded by Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman in 1959. Use in anesthesia: Functionalities can be added to nanomaterials by interfacing them with biological molecules.
Once injected, the nanorobots would freely float inside the body, detecting and attaching to very specific receptors, for example, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), opioid and neuromuscular junction receptors.Thus, they would perform a highly focussed task: In the brain, by attaching to GABA receptors they produce loss of consciousness and amnesia, At the neuromuscular junction they provide full muscle relaxation giving good intubating conditions Activation of opioid receptors causing profound analgesia. The desirable characteristics of a nanorobot are an optimal size of…
