Anesthetics Flashcards
Non inhalation anesthetics
PropofolAllosteric modulation of GABA receptors. Sedative, hypnotic effect
Maintenance of general anesthesia
Induction anesthesia
Sedation in case of diagnostic manipulations
Postoperative sedation
Ketamine
NMDA receptor channel blockerAnalgesia, * dissociative anesthesia
Maintenance of general anesthesia
Induction anesthesia
Postoperative sedation
Inhalation, volatile
IsofluraneDesfluraneSevoflurane
GABA receptor modulatorsAnesthetic effects
Maintenance anesthesia
All flurans have arrhythmogenic effects
Malignant hyperthermia (genetic) -↑ T, tachycardia, respiratory failure, acidosis, rigidity, rhabdomyolysis
Inhalation anesthetics
Gaseous substances
Nitric oxide (N2O)NMDA receptor antagonistSedative, analgesic effect,anesthetic effects without muscle relaxationN2O causes release of endogenous opioid peptides (endorphins) in brain stem
Maintenance anesthesia
Premedication
Premedication may reduce the SE of anesthetic or surgical manipulationPremedication is given before general anesthesia, for example, the night before the scheduled manipulation or just a few minutes before.Premedication uses drugs from different pharmacological groups.For example, cholinolitics, anxiolytics, sedatives, BAB,hypotensive agents, antihistamines, hypoacids

Local anesthetics
Aminoamides or amides
Amides are metabolized by hepatic microsomal enzymes P450,therefore, their duration of action may be ~ 2 times longer than that of esters
* Lidocaine ** Bupivacaine
Na + channel blockade (membrane stabilization),inhibition of excitation pulse conduction in sensory fibers, anesthetic effectNB! Lidocainei / v - Class 1B antiarrhythmic
- All types of anesthesia
- Infiltration, spinal, epidural and wire anesthesia(for example, obstetrics / nerve block in chronic back pain)
Amino esters or estersBenzocaineMain disadvantages of surface anesthetics - esters:1.Short-term action duration(rapid hydrolytic metabolism due to esterases in tissues and plasma)2.Allergic complications are more common (sensitization to ester hydrolysis metabolite -paraaminobenzoic acid or PABA)For local anesthetics-amides, these disadvantages are not typical
