Analgesia sedation - Local anaesthetics Flashcards

1
Q

What is the gate theory

A
  • Melzack and Wall
  • C fibres lets pain through
  • Ab Fibres stimulate inhibitory neurones
  • Descending Pathways prevent central passage

24
Q

Physiology of benzodiazepines

A
  • Gabba- aminobutyric Acid
  • Inhibitory Neurotransmittor
  • Receptors A and B
25
Side effects of benzodiazepines
- Over Sedation - Loss of Airway - Respiratory Depression - ABC - Flumazanyl with caution - Myth of safety ,Light Anaesthesia
26
Other sedatives
- Low Dose Vapours - Ketamine - Hyoscine - Propofol Low dose - Major Tranquillisers - Alpha 2 agonists
27
Classification of local anaesthetics
- Amides -NH.CO- - Lignocaine,Prilocaine,Bupivacaine - Esters –CO.O- - Cocaine , Amethocaine
28
Mechanism of local anaesthetic action
· Na Channel Blockade · Un- ionized Drug Through Membrane into axoplasm · Protonated · Blocks Channel thus blocking action potential
29
Where to put local anaesthetics
``` · Anatomy Local Blocks /Ultrasound · Spinal Epidural Caudal · Skin · Aerosol/Nebulised · Combination with GA Part of Triad ```
30
Side effects of local anaesthetics
``` · Skin/Subcutaneous · Brachial Plexus · Epidural · Caudal · Intercostal · VESSELS AND NERVES FOLLOW EACH OTHER ``` Toxicity - ``` · CARDIOVASCULAR · Dysrythmias,Cardiac Depression · CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM · Fitting/Anxiety/Lossof Consciousness · Circumoral numbness · Ref Paper Mask 1990 ```
31
