3.6.2013(anesthesia) 26 Flashcards
Mechanism of action of Etomidate
GABA receptors
Etomidate causes endocrine suppression by
11 beta hydroxylase
17 alpha hydroxylase
Steroid inhibitors
Metyrapone Aminoglutithimide Trilostane Ketoconazole Etomidate Mifepristone(glucocorticoid antagonist)
Metyrapone inhibits steroid synthesis by
Inhibiting 11 beta hydroxylase
Adverse effects of Etomidate
Myoclonus Hiccups Adrenal suppression Pain on injection Thrombophlebitis Postoperative nausea and vomiting
IV anaesthetic causing pain on arterial injection
Thiopentone
IV anaesthetic agent causing thrombophlebitis on intravenous injection
Etomidate
IV anaesthetic agent cause pain without thrombophlebitis on intravenous injection
Propofol
Methohexital
Thiopental
Antidote for Etomidate induced adrenal suppression
Vitamin C
Highest incidence of nausea and vomiting among induction agents
Etomidate
Pain relief in thoracotomy
- Neuraxial block(epidural is gold standard)
2. opioids
Intrathecal opioid of choice after thoracotomy
Morphine
High dose of Sch
7-10mg/kg
Risk of phase 2 block with Sch
Prolonged exposure(30-60min) Large dose
CI for nasotracheal intubation
Severe mid facial trauma
CSF rhinorhea
Ideal airway procedure in a pt with mid facial trauma
- cricothyroidectomy
2. orotracheal intubation
Inhalation anaesthetic agent causing coronary steal
Isoflurane
Best uterine relaxant among inhalational anaesthetics
Halothane
Best muscle relaxant among inhalational agents
Ether
Irritant inhalational agents
Desflurane
Isoflurane
Ether
Enflurane
DIE

Inhalational anaesthetics that can be used in liver failure
Desflurane
Sevoflurane
Isoflurane
N2O
Portal flow is maximally reduced by
Halothane
