Most states car­ry out exe­cu­tions with a three-drug lethal-injec­tion pro­to­col. Others use a sin­gle drug. The three-drug pro­to­col typ­i­cal­ly begins with an anes­thet­ic or seda­tive, fol­lowed by a sec­ond drug to par­a­lyze the pris­on­er and a third drug — typ­i­cal­ly potas­si­um chlo­ride — to stop the prisoner’s heart. The first drug used varies by state and is list­ed above for each exe­cu­tion.
