"Halothane" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Halothane is a general anesthetic substance used to induce anesthesia, particularly in surgical procedures. It is a sweet-tasting, non-flammable liquid that can be inhaled or administered through an intravenous line. Halothane was widely used in the past, but it has largely been replaced by newer anesthetics due to its potential to cause malignant hyperthermia, a serious and potentially life-threatening condition.
Usage Examples for "Halothane"
Halophytes are plants that thrive in environments with high salinity, typically found in coastal areas, salt pans, or salt lakes. They have adapted to survive in areas with high concentrations of salt and other salts, usually through specialized physiological or morphological features.
Halophytic refers to plants that thrive in environments with high salt concentrations, often found in areas such as salt marshes, salt deserts, and coastal areas. These plants have adapted specialized physiological and anatomical features to survive and even exploit the salt-rich conditions, which would be toxic or inhibiting to most other plant species.
