Q

This injectable anesthetic agent can be used for sedation, induction and maintenance of anesthesia. It is NOT a DEA controlled substance and does NOT offer analgesia. It is a potent respiratory depressant and rapid injection or high doses can result in life threatening apnea

Q

Propofol enters the brain quickly because

A

the brain is part of the vessel-rich group of tissues.

propofol is lipid soluble and its entry into the brain is enhanced by the high lipid content of the brain.

17
Q

What is the term for a breathing pattern in which there is a pause for several seconds at the end of the inspiratory phase, followed by a short, quick expiratory phase

A

apneustic respiration

18
Q

The lowest tissue for redistribution/lowest blood flow is

19
Q

This has the most commonly used inhalant agent in North America

A

isoflurane

20
Q

Has the highest percentage of metabolism by the liver

A

sevoflurane

21
Q

Highest MAC

A

nitrous oxide

22
Q

Can react with exhausted carbon dioxide absorber granules and has the greatest tendency to produce carbon monoxide

A

desflurane

23
Q

Has a usual maintenance vaporizer setting between 1.5% and 2.5%

A

isoflurane

24
Q

Has the lowest percentage of metabolism by the liver

A

nitrous oxide

25
This agent has the highest vaporizer setting and requires an electronic heated vaporizer
desflurane
26
This halogenated organic compound is best suited to be used for mask or chamber anesthesia induction
sevoflurane
27
The modern halogenated inhalation agents have a high vapor pressure. This means
they commonly are administered through a precision vaporizer. if their delivery is not controlled, they could reach a delivery percentage of greater than 30% which could prove fatal to patients. they easily evaporate from a liquid to a gas
28
The ability of an inhalation agent to pass through the alveoli of the lung to the blood stream is related to the…
concentration gradient of the agent in the alveoli lipid solubility of the agent
29
The lower the partition coefficient is for an anesthetic means that the agent is better at dissolving in alveolar gas. Therefore, those agents that have lower partition coefficients…
have a faster induction to maintenance anesthesia and a faster recovery
30
An inhalation anesthetic agent with a higher MAC value will have
a higher precision vaporizer setting for induction and maintenance
