Nervous system/Sedation Medications

Local + General Anesthetics (Lidocaine, Methohexital, Midazolam, Fentanyl)

Step into the Nervous System like it’s a high-stakes operating room—because in this volume, it is.

In this fast-paced, visually driven Pharmacology MANGA, you’ll follow Lucy and her clinical crew as they run “mission sedation” through the body’s neural command center. Every chapter turns real medication science into clear, unforgettable scenes—so you don’t just memorize drug facts… you understand them.

What this book covers (in story form):

Local Anesthetics

• Lidocaine (Xylocaine) — How nerve signals get blocked, why numbness happens, and what to watch for when the block goes too far.

General Anesthetics / Sedation & Analgesia

• Methohexital (Brevital) — Rapid induction, CNS shutdown mechanics, and why airway/respiratory vigilance matters.

• Midazolam (Versed) — Calm, amnesia, and sedation explained through GABA-driven neural “dimming.”

• Fentanyl (Duragesic) — Powerful pain control, opioid receptor effects, and the real risks behind respiratory depression.

You’ll learn through:

• Panel-by-panel MOA breakdowns (what the drug does and why)

• Indications + when you’ll see it clinically

• Side effects mapped to the body’s physiology (no random lists)

• Nursing priorities & safety checks (airway, VS trends, reversal awareness, monitoring cues)

• Quick “NCLEX-style” memory cues built into scenes for rapid recall
