Ether produces general anesthesia by inhalation. General anesthesia has several stages (in surgical anesthesia, the goal is generally to get to stage III and not into stage IV; euthanization would progress through stage IV):
Stage I: Loss of sensation of pain Stage II: Loss of consciousness Stage III: Loss of spontaneous respirations Stage IV: Loss of blood pressure Obviously it is important for the administrator to minimize inadvertent inhalation.
