Q

local anesthetics: MOA? wc form has higher affinity?

A

Bind Na channel, inhibiting conduction.

Ionized have higher affinity.

Q

why Anticholinergics use for anesthesia? 2 used?

A

prevent secretions and prevent vagal effects.

Scopalamine - prevent salivaiton

Atropine – prevent reflex bradycardia

Q

hw do the following affect inhalation anesthetic rate of induction, inc solubility in blood? inc concentration? inc alveolar ventilation? inc cardiac output?

A

inc solubility decreases rate of induction time inc concentration increases rate of induction inc alveolar ventilaiton increases ROI inc cardiac output decreases ROI

Q

Inhaled anestheric that produces toxic compound A? other thing released by drug?

A

Sevoflurane. also releases Fl

17
Q

Effect of vasoconstrictors on local anesthesia?

2 vasoconstrictors?

2 MOA?

Benefit?

when to not use?

A

Prolong local anesthesia

Epinephrine, phenylephrine

slow absorption and dec drug plasma concentration

less side effects

dont use in end areteries (fingers toes

18
Q

why do local anesthetics cause hypersensitivity rxns?

A

ester anesthetics get into systemic circulation and are metbaolized to PABA

19
Q

wt is infiltration anesthesia?

use?

wt double duration?

A

injected into tissues

dental procedues

epinephrine doubles duration

20
Q

Local anesthetic used on skin?

A

Benzocaine

21
Q

wt is second gas effect? drug often used?

A

when a rapidly absorbed gas increases the rate of uptake of a 2nd gas. NO used

22
Q

Propofol:

Use?

Advantage?

Major AE? pt populaiton w more pronounced AE?

Drug increasing AE?

Drug causing serious effects in pediatric patients?

Drug precipitating seizures?

A

Induction and maintenance of anesthesia.

Rapid Recovery.

CV effects AE. (more in elderly)

Opiates increase AE and sedation.

Fentanyl causes serious bradycardia in peds.

Alfentanil –> seizures.

23
Q

age MAC is calculated? effect of infancy on MAC? old age? hyperthyroidism? hypothyroidism? sedatives? amphetamines? red hair?

A

35-40 y/o infancy - inc old age - dec hyperthyroidism - inc hypothyroidism - dec sedatives - dec amphetamines - inc red hair - inc

24
Q

?name of barbiturate we need to know? What causes recovery? contraindication?

A

Thiopental.

Recovery is due to redistribution from the brain into less vascular regions (skin and muscle)

CI: Porphyria

25
Q

wc anesthetic is actually a weak anesthetic but a strong analgesia?

A

Nitrous Oxide

26
Q

df MAC?

A

Minimum alveolar concentration – inspired concentration of anesthetic producing anesthesia in 1/2 of subjects

27
Q

wc anesthetics are in LET mixture

A

Lidocaine

Epinephrine

Tetracaine
