Which anesthetic agents show altered efficacy in individuals with red hair due to genetic variations?

Red-haired individuals often require higher doses of specific anesthetics like desflurane and lidocaine due to greater resistance, possibly linked to MC1R gene variations. Personalized dosing adjustments are advisable, although standard protocol changes solely based on hair color are not justified by current evidence.

Abstract

Red-haired individuals often require higher doses of specific anesthetics like desflurane and lidocaine due to greater resistance, possibly linked to MC1R gene variations. Personalized dosing adjustments are advisable, although standard protocol changes solely based on hair color are not justified by current evidence.
