All inhaled anesthetics are bronchodilators except:
Desflurane
Used as GA
Desflurane not used in people with?
Asthma
Act as pulmonary irritant, will worsen bronchospasm
All local anesthetics vasoDILATE except:
Cocaine
Laughing gas used in minor surgeries and dental procedures?
Nitrous (joyOUS) oxide - rapid onset
High MAC, low potency
Low PC, rapid onset, least cardiotoxic
Type of anemia caused by Nitrous oxide?
Megaloblastic
Most hepatotoxic inhalational anesthesia? Other AE?
Halothane
Cause malignant hyperthermia with succinylcholine
Antidote for malignant hyperthermia? (massive SR release of Ca due to defective RYR, trismus of the jaw)
Dantrolene
To decrease body temp rapidly
Inhalational GA with the LOWEST MAC and HIGHEST potency?
Methoxyflurane
stays in blood longer, very SLOW recovery
Cause renal insufficiency
Ultrashort acting barbiturate used as IV GA for anesthesia induction and increased ICP?
Thiopental
TAYO AGAD
Short acting BZD also used as IV GA is? Antidote for toxicity?
Midazolam
Antidote: Flumazenil
Dissociative anesthesia (no loss of consciousness but with analgesia) preferred in trauma patients with unstable vital signs?
Ketamine CV stimulation (inc BP and HR)
Ketamine AE? Therefore need pretreatment with?
Emergence delirium
Give BZDs first
IV GA with no analgesic properties, used if with limited cardiac reserve or respi reserve?
Etomidate
“Eto may date, pareserve na tayo”
How is neuroleptanesthesia achieved? Used in endoscopic, bronchoscopic and ophthalmic procedures
“Friend drop the ox”
Fentanyl
Droperidol
