氙具有理想麻醉剂的许多特性，已被提议作为常规临床麻醉中一氧化二氮的合适替代品。氙、氪和氩在大多数情况下是化学惰性的，但都有麻醉作用。氙特别令人感兴趣，因为它是在常压条件下作为麻醉剂的唯一“惰性”气体。由于这种性质，氙在麻醉作用理论和MAC等概念的发展史上占有重要地位。成本可能是定期使用氙气的主要障碍。
Xenon has many of the properties of the ideal anaesthetic agent and has been proposed as a suitable replacement for nitrous oxide in routine clinical anaesthesia. Xenon, krypton and argon are chemically inert under most circumstances, yet all have anaesthetic properties. Xenon is of particular interest because it is the only ‘inert’ gas which is an anaesthetic under normobaric conditions. Because of this property, xenon has an important place in the history of the development of theories of anaesthetic action and of concepts such as MAC. Cost is likely to be a major impediment to the regular use of xenon.
