Ether ampoule is used as a local anesthetic or in some cases as an adjunct to general anesthesia, as it reduces the sensation of pain and temporarily inhibits the activity of the nervous system, which helps in carrying out minor medical or surgical procedures. It is also used in some cases to disinfect the skin or medical instruments due to its antiseptic properties and rapid evaporation. It is characterized by its rapid effect when used correctly, but
ether must be handled with extreme caution due to its flammability. It should only be used under direct medical supervision and in a prepared environment. It should be avoided from contact with the eyes or exposed skin for long periods. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sources of heat or flame.
