Anesthetics Quick Deck

Question 1

Inadequate analgesia & muscle contraction,  CO and BP, sensitizes myocardium to catecholamines, respiratory dep, hepatic toxicity (“halothane hepatitis”), malignant hyperthermia

Answer 1

Halothane

Question 2

Arrhythmias, pungent odor, potential for malignant hypothermia, respiratory depression

Answer 2

Isoflurane

Question 3

Low blood solubility  rapid onset & recovery, almost perfect inhalation anesthetic

Answer 3

Sevoflurane

Question 4

Low blood solubility rapid onset, 2nd gas effect can reduce time for induction and recovery, little effect on CV function, mild-moderate analgesic activity

Answer 4

Nitrous Oxide

Question 5

Injectable anesthetic, facilitates GABA induced Cl- entry into neurons  CNS depression - high toxicity

Answer 5

Barbiturates

Thiopental

Question 6

Injectable anesthetic, facilitates GABA induced Cl- entry into neurons  CNS depression - Amnestic action = used as induction agent

Answer 6

Benzodiazepines

Midazolam

Question 7

Injectable anesthetic, must be given as emulsion

- apnea -

Answer 7

Propofol

Diprivan

Question 8

Injectable anesthetic, NMDA glutamate receptor, rapid onset and short duration of action

Answer 8

Ketamine

Ketalar

Question 9

Injectable anesthetic, high potency and short acting

- hemodynamic stability -

Answer 9

Opioids

Fentanyl, Sulfentanil
