ANESTHETIC Flashcards
a reversible state of central nervous system (CNS) depression, causing loss of response to and perception of stimuli
General anesthesia
Milk of amnesia
Propofol
Often considered anesthetic adjunct
BZDsandBarbiturates
Block excitatory postsynaptic nicotinic Receptors
Inhalational
Notable for Cardio vascular toxicity
Halothane
Causes suppression of CV
Cardiovascularsystem
depress respiration but also act as bronchodilators
Respiratory system
Inhibition of the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors
N2O,ketamine
consideration in px with neurologic disorders
epilepsy, MG, NM dse
The use if anesthetic can cause abnormality in pregnancy which resukts to:
fetal organogenesis
aplastic anemia
oral cleft, altered thermoregulation
Pre-anesthetics(Adjuncts) reduce gastric acidity
H2 blockers
Drugs that are administering prior to administrating the main anesthetic agent
Pre-anesthetics(Adjuncts)
Pre-anesthetics(Adjuncts) prevent allergic reactions;
Antihistamines
Most common anti cholinergic
Glycopyrrolate
prevent bradycardia and secretion of
fluids into the respiratory tract
Anticholinergics
Most potent synthetic opiod derivative
Fentanyl
allay anxiety and facilitate amnesia
Benzodiazepines
Causes tolerance to opiods
opioid addiction
produce negative effects
Concomitant Drug Use
time of administration untul the anesthetic effect manifest or begins in the body
Induction
discontinuation→consciousness/reflexes
Recovery
sustainedanesthesia
Maintenance
Respiration is rapid, and heart rate and blood pressure increase
Excitement (delirium/disinhibition)
Decreased awareness of pain
Analgesia
