How does the triad of anaesthesia relate to the death penalty?

"General anaesthesia is a state of controlled unconsciousness.

Medications are used to send you to sleep, so you're unaware of surgery & don't move or feel pain while it's carried out. "

Muscle relaxant

Analgesia

"Is this going to be painful?"

Most states use a three-drug combination for lethal injection

1) an anesthetic (thiopental)

2) a paralytic agent (pancuronium bromid)

3) potassium chloride (stops the heart and causes death).

"Will I be able to move during the procedure?"

Endotracheal Tube

(ET Tube)

Muscle relaxants are used to paralyze patients during an operation.
