Q

pulmonary blood flow effect on inhaled anesthetics

A
  • high pulmonary blood flow :
    • gas partial pressures rises at slower rates; speed of onset of anesthesia in REDUCED.
  • low pulmonary blood flow
    • faster onset of anesthesia

In circulatory shock, this effect may accelerate rate of onset of anesthesia with agent of high blood solubility.

    • patient is in delerious and excited
    • amnesia occurs
    • reflexes are enhanced
    • irregular respiration
    • retching and incontinence (lack of voluntary control over urination or defecation) may occur
  • stage 3: surgical anesthesia
    • ​Unconcious
    • no pain reflexes
    • respiration is regular
    • BP maintained
  • stage 4: Medullary depression
    • Patient develops severe respiratory & CV depression
