anesthesia Flashcards
general supresses in this order
psychic-> basal ganglion/cerebellum-> medullary centers-> spinal cord
mey overton theory
more lipid=more potent
GABA=
amnesia and hyponosis
Nicotinic ach
amnesia
glycine
immobility
blood gas partition
lower=fater rate of induction
Nitrous oxide
analgesic NMDA antagonist, fast acting
-> hypoxia
halothane
anesthetic fast acting
-> arrythmia, liver toxicity hypothermia
Sevoflurane
anestetic, fast induction, less odor
-> high hepatic metabolism
PREFFERED IN ASTHMATICS
Isoflurane
relaxant
lowest MAC
-> vasodiation, bronchodilation, pungent
Desflurane
relaxant
fast induction and emergence
Indicated for pts with LIVER problems
NOT for smokers
vecuronium
ach antagonist
few CV effects
-> residual muscle weakness (tx neostigmine
NOT for renal dysfunction
Midazolam
benzo
-> oversediatation
fentanyl
opiod
-> resp depression
thiopental
Rapid/potent
-> hypotnesion,laryngospasm, grogginess
