anesthetics Flashcards
epidural, spinal, peropheral nerve block( Area and distributions of nerves)
Regional Anesthesia
- sedatives or other agents
- Patients responsive and breath without assistance
Monitored anesthesa
Mac and local/regional
Combination anesthesia car
- pt responds normally to verbal commands
- cognitive function and coordination may be impaired
- Ventilatory and CV functions unaffected
Minimal sedation (anxiolysis)
- Patient responed purposfully to verbal comands
- either alone or by light tactile stimulation
- Spontaneous ventilation is adequte
- CV function ususally maintained
Moderate sedation/analgesia (concious sedation)
Minimal sedation
- peripehral nerve blocks
- local/topical anesthesia
- less than 50% N20 in O2
- OR Single oral sedative/analgesic in doses appropriate fo UNSUPERVISED treatment of insomnia, anxiety or pain
Deep sedation provider requirements
- Provider should have no other responsibility
provider may assist with minor interruptable tasks once patients level of sedation -analgesia and vital signs have been stablized
moderate sedation provider requirements
- Not easily aroused
- respond purposfully to repeated.painful stimuli
- Ability to independant ventilatory function may be impaired
- Cardiovascular function os usually mantained
Deep sedation/Analagesia
- Not arousable even by painful stimuli
- Independent ventilatory function is impaired
- require assistance maintaining patent airway
- CV function may be impaired
- No sensory perception -Still has sensory input
General Anesthesia (Reversible)
Define general anesthesia
- generalized reversible CNS depression
- No sensory perception- has sensory input
- Loss of conciousness
- immobility
- some supression of autonomic reflexes
most general anesthetics require supplimentation of an _________ for __________ to occur
- opioid
- analgesia
In absense of an opoid the body will indicate the stress response via
- Increased HR, BP
- SNS activation
- Cortisol release
without intra-op opioids…..
post op pain controll is difficult to acheive
General anesthesia with ETT template
- Pre-op meds/sedation
- induction drug
- Neuromuscular blockade
- Inhalational drug
- Antiemetic
- Neuromuscular blockade reversal agent
Pre- meds/ sedation
- Anxiolytics- bezo
- antibiotic
- opioids
- prevent aspiration
- Preoxygenation
Induction drug
- IV or Inhalational
- IV = barbituate or non barbituate
- Inhalation = usually sevoflurane
Inhalation induction- usual drug and why
- Sevoflurane
- Isoflurane takes too long
- desflurane is to harsh on the airway
Neuromuscular blockade
- Facilitate intubation and optimize surgical conditions
- when the tube is in connect to circuit and turn on gas - induction drugs wear off in 3-5 minutes
Induction drugs
wear off in 3-5 minutes due to the distribution of the drug
Inhalational drug
for the maintinece of general anesthesia - may also be an IV drug
Opioids/local anesthetics
- minimize physiologic effects of pain
- promote comfort at emergence
Antiemetic
prevent nausea likely with inhalational agents and opioids
Reversal
reverse the paralyzong effects of neuromuscular blockade
Benzos Prototype
Diazepam / Valium
2-3 x potency of diazepam
midazolam / versed
midazolam / versed effect time at site equilibratioin
0.9-5.6 minutes
rapid redistribution and short duration
midazolam / versed
midazolam / versed E1/2t
1 - 6.5 hours
GABA binds to ________
the 2 beta sites
benzos bind to the _______
- gamma site
- GABA-A
GABA receptor has distinct binding sites for
GABA, Barbituates, Benzos, ETOH
GABA receptors are found on the ___________.
Post-synaptic memebranes in the CNS
Benzos have a built in ________ that prevents them form exceeding the _______________of GABA inhabition.
- Ceiling effect
- physiologic maximum
Benzos effects and precautions in anesthesia
- Dose dependant decrease in ventilation
- Hypoxemia and hypoventilation enhanced in presence of opioid
- Contraindicated in pregnancy
- Decreased SVR at induction doses
- very cardiac stable
Benzos do not directly cause ____________. They may do so if the pateint is ___________ or if their BP is elevated from _________
- Hypotension
- hypovolemic
- anxiety
Location of pain modulating systmes
- periaquaductal gray
- hypothalamus
- substantia gelatinosa
Opioids act at both _____ and _______ sites
Pre and Post synaptic
Binding at the Opioid receptor causes
- __________
- __________
- __________
- __________
- decreased neurotransmission
- increased K conductance (hyperpolarization)
- Ca++ channel inactivation- to a certain degree
- Immediate decrease in neurotransmitter release
Opioid prototype
Morphine
Fentanyl Potency
100x morphine
Sufentanyl potency
1000x Morphine
Opioids ar cardiac stable and will not effect _______
SVR
Opioids and versed
Have a synergistic effect
Barbituate Prototype
Sodium Pentathol (Thiopentol)
Sodium Petnathol (thiopentol) mechanism of action
- decreases rate at which GABA dissociates from the receptor (Enhances GABA)
- increases duration of CL- channel opening
- Mimics GABA at the receptor (direct activation of Cl- channels)
Barbituates also depress the ___________ which causes sleep.
Reticular Activating System
Barbituates produce a functional inhibition of _________
the post synaptic neuron
Barbituate Uses
- Sedation and Hypnosis
- Induction agents
- Cerebral Protection
- Anti-seizure
How do Barbituates cause cerebral protection
- By hyperoplarizing neurons with Cl- influx, the CMRO is decreased thereby producing less CO2 and causing cerebral vasoconstriction
- They do produce peripheral vasodilation
Why does thyopentol produce a hangover effect
It has a quick redistribution from the effect site and a long elimination half time, induction effect wears off quickly, but it still takes time for the body to eliminate the drug
Thiopentol cases depression of the _____________ center and decreases __________. This results in ___________ and decreased _________.
- Medully Vasomotor Center
- SNS outflow
- peripheral vasodilation
- preload
Thiopentol
If the _______is not intact or patient is _________ or if large doses are given to reduce _________. We will see ______________ and __________. Especially in the older population. Sometimes it is dosed with __________ to avoid this.
- SNS
- Hypovolemic
- ICP
- significant decrease in BP
- myocardial depression
- Epinepherine
Thiopentol and Ventilation
- Respiratroy depression with
- Decreased RR and Decerease TV
- causes crystalization/gangrene/nerve dammage
- pain that radiates along arterial distribution
Intra-arterial injection of thiopentol
Treatment:
- NS injection, lidocaine, papaverine, phenoxybenzamine
- sympathectomy via brachial plexus block
Intra-arterial injection of thiopentol
Thiopentols effect is rapidly terminated because of _____________
Redistribution, form brain (vessel rich) tissue to inactive sites (muscle, fat)
What is thiopentols E1/2 time?
11.6 hours
thiopentol especially effects ___________ because of the excess adipose tissue for the drug to redistribut into and then be removed from
Obese patients
