      Die Zuführung des Narkotikums geschieht vorwiegend durch die Atemwege: in geeigneten Masken, welche Mund und Nase bedecken, verdampft das Betäubungsmittel und wird mit der Atemluft aufgenommen.
      The administration of the anesthetic mainly happens through the respiratory system: in suitable masks, which cover mouth and nose, the narcotic substance evaporates and is absorbed with the breathing air.
