25
Intravenous anesthetics - ketamine - mechanism of action
PCP analog that act as a dissociative anesthetics Block NMDA receptors cardiovascular stimulant
26
Intravenous anesthetics - ketamine - side effects
1. hallucination 2. bad dreams 3. disorientation
27
Intravenous anesthetics - ketamine - except its action an anesthetic is also a
cardivascular stimulant --> useful for patients in cardiogenic of septic shock
28
Intravenous anesthetics - ketamine effect on cerebral arteries
increase cerebral blood flow
29
Intravenous anesthetics - opioids - drugs
1. morphine | 2. fentanyl
30
Intravenous anesthetics - opioids - clinical use
uses with other CNS depressants during general anesthesia
31
Intravenous anesthetics - propofol - mechanism of action
potentiates GABA-A
32
Intravenous anesthetics - propofol - side effects
1. low BP | 2. chemical pancreatitis
33
Intravenous anesthetics - propofol vs thiopental according side effects
propofol --> less postoperative nausea
34
Intravenous anesthetics - propofol clinical use
1. used for sedation in ICU 2. rapid anesthesia induction 3. short procedures
35
malignant hyperthermia - treatment
dantrolene
36
Intravenous anesthetics - groups/drugs?
1. barbiturates - thiopental 2. benzodiazepines - midazolam 3. arylcyclohexylamines - ketamine 4. opioids - morphine, fentanyl 5. propofol
37
local anesthetics - groups
1. esters | 2. amides
38
local anesthetics - groups/drugs
- CAINE 1. esters --> procaine, cocaine, trtracaine, benzocaine 2. amides --> lidocaine, mepivacaine, bupvacaine (AMIDES HAVE 2 Is in name)
39
local anesthetics - mechanism of action
- block Na+ channels by binding to specific receptors on inner portion of channel. Preferentially bind to activated Na+ channels, so must effective in rapidly firing neurons. - They penetrate membrane in uncharged form, then bind to ion channels as charged form (3ry amines)
40
local anesthetics - clinical use
1. minor surgical procedure | 2. spinal anesthesia
41
local anesthetics - toxicity (and which drugs)
1. CNS excitation 2. severe cardiovascular toxicity (bupivacaine) 3. hypertension 4. hypotension 5. arrhythmias (cocaine) 6. methemoglobinemia (benzocaine) IF ALLERGIC TO TO ESTERS --> GIVE AMIDES
42
local anesthetics can be given with ... (why)
vasoconstrictors (usually epinephrine) to enchance local action - decrease bleeding, increase anesthesia by decrease systemic concentration
43
local anesthetics in infected (acidic) tissue
alkaline anesthetics are charged and cannot penetrate membrane effectively --> need more anesthetic
44
local anesthetics - order of nerve predominates
small myelinated fibers > small unmyelinated fibers > large myelinated fibers > large unmyelinated fibers
45
local anesthetics - order sensation loss
1. pain 2. temperature 3. touch 4. pressure
46
local anesthetics - groups/drugs
- CAINE 1. esters --> procaine, cocaine, trtracaine, benzocaine 2. amides --> lidocaine, mepivacaine, bupvacaine
47

muscle paralysis in surgery or mechanical ventilation
48
neuromuscular blocking drugs - muscle paralysis in
surgery or mechanical ventilation
49
neuromuscular blocking drugs - selective for
motor (vs autonomic) nicotinic receptors
50
neuromuscular blocking drugs - receptors
motor nicotinic receptors | - selective for motor (vs autonomic) nicotinic receptors
51
neuromuscular blocking drugs are divided to (and drugs)

52
neuromuscular blocking drugs - depolarizing - drugs
succinylcholine
53

54
succinylcholine - complications
1. hypercalcemia 2. hyperkalemia 3. malignant hyperthermia
55
depolarizing neuromuscular blockage - phases and characteristic
phase I - prolonged depolarization | phase II - repolarized but blocked. ACh receptros are available but desensitized
56
depolarizing neuromuscular blockage - phase II - receptor's condition
ACh receptros are available but desensitized
57
depolarizing neuromuscular blockage - reversal of blockage by ... (antidote?)
phase I --> no antidote | phase II --> cholinestarase inhibitor
58
depolarizing neuromuscular blockage - action of cholinestarase inhibitor

(-CURARINE, -CURIUM, -CURONIUM) 1. Tubocurarine 2. Atracurium 3. Mivacurium 4. Pancurorium 5. Vecuronium 6.Rocuronium
60
nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockage - mechanism of action
competitive antagonists - compete with ACh for receptors
61
nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockage - reversal of blockage?
cholinesterase inhibitors 1. edrophonium 2. neostigmine (with atropine) 3. other cholinesterase inhibitors drugs
62
nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockage - reversal of blockage - neostigmine featrues
