Q

alveolar-venous partial pressure pressure effect on anesthesia

A

larger the difference, the more anesthetic will be taken up by tissues and venous blood will have lower concentration than arterial blood which means that it will take to achieve equilibrium between general circulation and the brain

Q

Stage 1 of anesthesia

A

analgesia from conventional to drowsy, count to 10 if you can (propofol is so fast that ususally skip this phase now)

26
Q

Stage 2 of anesthesia

A

excitement: delirium and possible combative behavior, increased irregular BP and respiration rate. Propofol reduces/eliminates this stage

27
Q

Stage 3

A

surgical anesthesia: loss of muscular tone and reflexes due to further CNS depression. breathing is regular and skeletal muscles relaxed. Need careful monitoring to ensure CNS is not depressed further

28
Q

Stage 4

A

death if no support

29
Q

inhaled anesthetics effect on brain

A

balance b/w decreased metabolic activityand the fact that Volatile anesthetics also cause cerebral vasodilation

30
Q

inhaled anesthetics effect on heart

A

halogenated= decreased contractility and MAP

31
Q

which anesthetics maintain CO as well as reduce preload and afterload?

A

isoflurane, desflurane, and sevoflurane

32
Q

inhaled anesthetics effect on lungs

A

rapid shallow breathing and respiratory depressants

33
Q

inhaled anesthetics effect uterus

A

halogenated= potent uterine muscle relaxants

34
Q

What are 3 compartments

A

blood, brain and viscera, and muscle/fat

35
Q

bevocaine and cocaine is what class and subclass

A

local anesthetic, ester, surface action

36
Q

procaine is what class and subclass

A

ester, short acting,

37
Q

tetracaine is what class and subclass

A

ester , long acting

38
Q

lidocaine is what class and subclass

A

amide, medium acting

39
Q

bupivocaine is what class and subclass

A

amide , long acting

40
Q

local anesthetics are weak acids/ bases

A

weak bases

41
Q

increased K levels increase/decrease efficacy of local anesthetics

A

increase

42
Q

increased Ca levels increase/decrease efficacy of local anesthetics

A

decrease

43
Q

how are esterLA metabolized

A

pseudocholinesterases

44
Q

how are amide LA metabolzed

A

liver, p450

47
Q

LA mechanism

A

block voltage dependent Na channels

49
Q

LA work better on narrower or thickier nerve fibers?

A

50
Q

LA work better on heavily myelinated fibers or non/lighlty myelinated

A

heavily

51
Q

LA work better on rapidly or slow firing nerves

A

rapid

52
Q

LA work better on peripheral nerves or nerve bundle

A

Q

toxicity of LA

A
  • CNS tox can cause convulsion which are treated w/ BZDs or barbs
