Lethal injection is done by using three chemicals. The chemicals are usually sodium thiopental (an anesthetic), pancuronium bromide (used to paralyze the person being injected), and potassium chloride (to stop the heart so that the person being injected dies).
None of the executioners know who has delivered the lethal dose and who has injected drugs into a dummy bag. The drugs are administered, in this order: 1  Anesthetic-Sodium thiopental, which has the trademark name Pentothal, puts the inmate into a deep sleep. Saline solution flushes the intravenous line. 2  Paralyzing agent-Pancuronium bromide, also known as Pavulon, is a muscle relaxant that is given in a dose that stops breathing by paralyzing the diaphragm and lungs.
