Anaesthesia Flashcards
Does not have any CI
General anaesthesia
LOC ✔ Loss of reflex ✔ Amnesia ✔ Analesia Muscle relaxn
Components of GA
✔ = All drugs
Multiple drugs in titration for diff components of anaesthesia
Balanced anaesthesia
Dr John Lundy
Triad of GA
Narcosis
Relaxn
Analgesia
Methods of Induction
- IV - faster, smoother, less anxiety
PREFFERED, BEST - Inhalational - in peds
Methods of Maintainance
- IV
2. Inhalational
TIVA = Propofol
Induction + Maintenance
Pre O2
100% O2 mask with patient’s own efforts
- 3 to 5 min Normal TV breathing
- 4 full VC breaths
- 8 full breaths/ 1 mintute
Steps of GA
1 Attach monitors 2 Secure IV 3 Pre O2 4 Induction 5 Maintain 6 Reversal
Min of __% of O2 out of A. machine
30%
Except 25% in high combustion
Inhalational A. agents
- Potent
2. Carrier gas (due to long pathway)
Potent A. inhalational agents
NEW Halo Iso Sevo Des NOT USED NOW Enflurane and Methoxy
OLD
Ether
Chloroform
Carrier gases
N2O
Xenon
High combustion operation triad
FUEL - tube/cuff/drape
OXIDANT - O2/N2O/Volatile agent
IGNITION - laser
MAC
Min alveolar conc to produce UNCONSCIOUSNESS (no movement on Std Sx Stimulus in 50% of popluation
MAC = 1/POTENCY = DOSE
MAC = HISD
MAC increases, and potency decreases
Overall
Most potent
Least potent
Most potent - Methoxyflurane
Least potent - N2O (104 MAC)
Conditions DECREASING MAC (decrease dose)
Hypoxia Hypercapnia Hypovolemia Hypothermia Hyperthermia (upto 42 deg) HypoNa HyperCa
Condn INCREASING MAC
> 42 deg - Heat stroke
Hypernatremia
Age = 1/MAC (6% per decade)
Order
Infant > Neonate > Adult > Elderly
HIGHEST MAC - Infant
Why low MAC in Pregnancy
- Preogesterone sedates the brain
2. Increase sensitivity to drugs
Acute Alcoholism
Any drug contributing to any effect of GA (NSAID, opioid)
Low MAC
Chronic Alcoholism
Amphetamine
HyperNa
High MAC
Endocrines and MAC?
No EFFECT
MAC50 = MAC
MAC95
Submaximal MAC
MAC95 = 1.3 - 1.5 MAC50
Submaximal MAC = (just less that reqd dose of drug) causes compensatory Sympathetic stimulation
GA
Sleep
Beta - Alpha - Theta - Delta
Meyer Overton Rule
Potency of A. agent = Lipid solubility
B-G partition coefficient
Blood - Gas solubility
Diffusion Coefficient
One of the factors affecting Speed of INDUCTION
Alv conc = CNS conc
High BG coefficient
Slow speed of induction
BG coefficient
HISD
BG decreases and spleed increases
