can you give benzos with MAOI?
yes
pts on MAOI have ________ anesthetic requirements
increased
vasopressors for pts on MAOI
direct acting
(phenylephrine)
TCAs mech
inhibit synaptic reuptake of NE and serotonin
what other neurochemical systems do TCAs impact?
histamine

Sweating
serotonin syndrome treatment
supportive measures

parasympathetic
- brady
- hTN
ECT: phase 2
sympathetic
- tachy
- HTN
incr CBF will ______ ICP
incr ICP
methods to determine seizure activity
electroencelphalogram
or
tournique to leg
pre-op med for ECT
0.2 mg glyco to control brady and decr secretions
ECT induction drug
0.5-1 mg/kg methohexital
propofol
what should you give after ECT induction?
sux to decr muscle contractions from seizure
what should you use to treat tachycardia and HTN in ECT pts?
esmolol
NTG
ECT induction drugs options
methohexital
propofol
etomidate
ketamine
fastest onset ECT induction drug
methohexital
propofol induction pro
decr HTN
propofol induction con
shorter seizure activity
ketamine induction for ECT will have
prolonged receovery
what is important to know about bipolar pts?
lithium level if treated with lithium
lithium side effects
QT prolongation
non-specific ST segment and t-wave changes
fluids for lithium pts
sodium containing to decrease lithium
what drug to avoid in lithium pts?
thiazide diuretics will incr lithium
pts on lithium may have _____ anesthetic requirement
decr

muscle rigidity (sk)
rhabdo
autonomic hyperrreflexia
altered consciousness
acidosis
CK incr
NMS treatment
stop antipsychotic drugs
supportive therapy
dantrolene
bromocriptine
what should you do for pts going under anesthesia with a history of NMS?
monitor for MH
incr CK is associated with what?
NMS
anesthetic need: acute alchol
decr anesthetic need
anesthetic need: chronic
incr anesthetic need
how long before surgery should you stope oral naltrexone?
72 hrs
how long before surgery should you stop naltrexone injections?
4 weeks
pts who stop naltrexone will
be more sensitive to opioids due to incr receptor density
pts who are on naltrexone will
be resistant to opioid
need higher opioid dosing
disulfiram
inhibits aldehyde dehydrogenase in alcohol metabolism
disulfiram SE
hTN
how to treat disulfiram hTN
phenylephrine
anesthetic need: acute cocaine
incr need
anesthetic need: chronic cocaine
negligible effect
duration of cocaine toxicity
2 hrs
what happens after taking cocaine?
catecholamine deficient
anesthetic need: acute opioids
decr anesthetic need
anesthetic need: chronic opioids
incr anesthetic need
should you continue or discontinue chronic opioids prior to surgery?
continue to have higher opioid receptor saturation
should you cntinue or discontinue methadone or buprenorphine before surgyer?
continue
- need pain mgmt consult
anesthetic need: acute amphetamines
incr anesthetic requirement
acute amphetamine pts will have
tachycardia
HTN
hyperthermia
anesthetic need: chronic amphetamines
decr anesthetic requirement
chronic amphetamine users will be
catecholamine depleted
hTN
vasopressor for chronic amphetamine users
direct acting
phenylephrine
NE
should you contine or discontinue amphetamines prescibed for ADHD?
discontinue
anesthetic need: acute cannabis
decr requirement
cannabis toxicity lasts
2-3 hrs
anesthetic need: chronic cannabis
higher propofol
incr analgesia
chronic cannabis users will have
pulmonary issues similar to long-term smokers

N/V
confusion
alcohol withdrawal is most prononuced
24-36 hrs post-intake
delerium tremens is most pronounced
2-4 days post-intake
delerium tremens mortality
10%
delerium tremens
alcohol withdrawl + seizures
