20. Inhaled anesthetics Flashcards
1
Q
Highest and lowest boiling point of VA
A
Lowest NO (-88) after Des
Highest Methoxyflurane (104) Sevo (58)
2
Q
Highest and lowest vapor pressure of VA
A
Highest NO (43880) after Des
Lowest Methoxyflurane (22.5) Sevo (157)
3
Q
What is the reason for fulminant hepatic necrosis and VA
A
Hypersensitivity reaction to one of the metabolites of the VA
4
Q
CO and Palv
A
An increase in CO increase Palv and makes the induction slower
5
Q
MAC immobility and MAC awake
A
Approximately MACa =1/3MACi
6
Q
What helps to reduce environmental impact of VA
A
Use a closed-circuit breathing system
7
Q
What increases CO production in the adsorbent
A
Low humidity, high temperature, strong bases increases CO
High FGF decreases it
8
Q
What amino acid is degraded by a long exposure to N2O
A
Methionine
