MeSH D009458

Neuroleptanalgesic anesthesia or neuroleptanalgesia (from the Greek, neurolepsis - seizure and analgos - without pain) is a seizure not accompanied by pain.

First neuroleptanalgesia is produced by a combination of an opioid analgesic such as fentanyl and a neuroleptic like droperidol or haloperidol. After administering nitrous oxide with oxygen neuroleptanalgesia can be converted to neuroleptanesthesia.
