Neuroleptics anaesthesia

It is a short acting neuroleptic agent used in anaesthesia. 

Anaesthesia in MH-susceptible patients is achieved safely with total intravenous anaesthesia using propofol and opioids. Dantrolene for intravenous use must be available in every surgical theatre. The relation of malignant hyperthermia syndrome with neuroleptic malignant syndrome (for which dantrolene may be used as adjunctive treatment, see p. 388) is uncertain. 

Resumption of car driving or other skilled activity after anaesthesia is a special case, and an extremely variable one, but where a sedative (e.g. i.v. benzodiazepine, opioid or neuroleptic), or any general anaesthetic has been used it seems reasonable not to drive for 24 h at least.
