7. Inhalational Induction / Emergence Flashcards
Inspired Concentration
(Fi)
concentration of volatile agent in the anesthesia machine/inspiratory tubing of the circuit
Fi monitor observation
in SEVO
alveolar concentration
(Fa)
concentration of volatile agent in the alveoli
concentration of agent in the expiratory tubing of the circuit
Fa vs Fi relationsip
Fa < Fi
body is absorbing some VA
Fa monitor observation
end tidal sevo concentration
Fa:Fi ratio
how concentrated the alveoli are (Fa) compared to how concentrated the machine is (Fi)
[lungs] < [machine]
Fa:Fi ratio for induction
<1
concentration in lungs (Fa) will always be lower than the concentration in machine (Fi) when VA is turned on
When does Fa:Fi approach 1
as the blood gets saturated w/agent
diffusion of agent from lung to blood slows
[lung] increases close to [machine]
concentration of VA in lungs builds up over time
inhalational induction mechanism
- volatile agent turned on
- [machine] increases (Fi)
- [alveoli] increases (Fa)
- agent diffuses from alveoli to blood
- agent from blood diffuses into brain (tissues)
- [brain] sufficiently high = pt asleep
inhalational induction speed depends on:
- lung to blood diffusion speed
- blood to brain diffusion speed
Faster diffusion of agent into blood
faster build up of [lung]
greater [lung]:[blood] gradient
faster diffusion into blood
faster induction
Slower diffusion of agent into blood
slower build up of [lung]
smaller [lung]:[blood] gradient
slower diffusion into blood
slower induction
desflurane blood solubility
low blood solubility
low blood solubility
slow diffusion of agent into blood
faster buildup of [lung]
– high initial [lung]
fast diffusion from blood into brain
– low [blood]
high [lung]: low [blood] = lrg conc gradient
== faster diffusion into blood
low blood solubility summary
faster buildup in lungs
greater [lung]:[blood] gradient
faster diffusion into blood
faster diffusion into brain
faster inhalational induction
isoflurane blood solubility
high blood solubility
high blood solubility summary
slower buildup in lungs
smaller [lung]:[blood] gradient
slower diffusion into blood
slower diffusion into brain
slower inhalational induction
high blood solubility
fast initial diffusion into blood
slow buildup in lungs
–low initial [lung]
slow diffusion from blood into brain
– high [blood]
low [lung] : high[blood] = sm conc gradient
== slower diffusion into blood
low cardiac output inhalational induction speed
[lung] rises more quickly
[blood] rises more quickly
faster diffusion into blood and brain
faster inhalational induction
high cardiac output inhalational induction speed
[lung] rises slowly
[blood] rises slowly
slower diffusion into blood and brain
slower inhalational induction
low cardiac output induction
inhalational: fast
IV: slow
high cardiac output induction
inhalation: slow
IV: fast
minute ventilation and inhalational induction
increase MV
increase inhalational induction speed
minute ventilation
RR X TV
increase TV
more surface area for gas exchange
increase MV
increase inhalational induction
