Anesthetic Part 2 Flashcards
prototype of inhalational anesthetics
HALOTHANE
can be used in obstetrics when uterine relaxation is
indicated
HALOTHANE
HALOTHANE A/E
Cardiac
Malignant hyperthermia
blocks release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle cells, reducing heat production and relaxing muscle tone
Dantrolene
drastic and uncontrolled increase in skeletal muscle oxidative metabolism
Malignanthyperthermia
overwhelming capacity to supply oxygen, remove CO2, regulate temp
Malignant hyperthermia
not toxic to the liver or kidney becuase of its little metabolism
ISOFLURANE
Has an A/E of pungent odor stimulates respiratory reflexes
ISOFLURANE
Rarely use for maintenance anesthesia cos its very expensive
DESFLURANE
popular for outpatient procedures
DESFLURANE
rapid induction, rapid onset and recovery, ↓blood solubility. Ideal to pediatric patients
SEVOFLURANE
low pungency = low irritation of airways
SEVOFLURANE
least hepatotoxic of all inhalational agents
NITROUS OXIDE
It can cause Diffusion hypoxia
NITROUS OXIDE
non-irritating potent analgesic, weak general anesthetic
NITROUS OXIDE
N2O replaces nitrogen in air spaces faster than the nitrogen leaves → N2O retards oxygen uptake during recovery
Diffusion hypoxia
↓blood supply, ↓effect to redistribution
adipose tissue
facilitate amnesia while causing sedation
Midazolam
Alternative to midazolam
diazepam and lorazepam
induces anesthesia, no analgesic activity
ETOMIDATE
replaced in most countries because of the availability of
other anesthetics with fewer complications
HALOTHANE
Most fatal toxicity by halothane
Hepatic necrosis
T/F. If halothane will undergoe oxidative metabolism, it will yield hydrocarbons and some type of halogen which can lead to toxicity.
True
What are the toxicities that lead by halogen and hydrocarbons in halogen if undergoe oxidative metabolism?
fever,anorexia,nausea,vomiting,hepatitis
Halothane interval
NLT2-3weeks
concentration-dependent hypotension
phenylephrine
vagomimetic and may cause atropine-sensitive bradycardia
Cardiac, adverse effect of halothane
Not use for anesthetic induction but can be use as anesthetic maintenance
Isoflurane and desflurane
low fresh gas flow = nephrotoxicity
SEVOFLURANE
usually maintained with inhalational anesthetics
IV anesthetic
one “arm-brain circulation time”
IV anesthetics
high proportion of initial drug bolus goes to cerebral
circulation → blood to brain conc gradient → exerts effects
