Definitions (Ex1) Flashcards
Anesthesia definition
Lack of feeling or sensation
General anesthesia definition
Drug- Induced loss of consciousness
Regional anesthesia definition
Interrupted sensory nerve conduction resulting in loss of sensation
Spinal anesthesia location
Intrathecal space
Epidural anesthesia location
Outside of the dura
Minimal sedation characteristics
Responds to verbal
Unaffected airway/ventilation/CV
Moderate sedation characteristics
Responds to verbal or touch
Usually adequate airway/ventilation/CV
Deep sedation characteristics
Responsive to painful stimulation
May need assistance with airway/ventilation
CV usually maintained
Triad of anesthesia
Amnesia
Analgesia
Muscle relaxation
Balanced anesthesia adds ____ to the anesthesia triad
Homestasis
Phases of anesthesia administration (5)
Preoperative
Induction
Maintenance
Emergence
Postoperative
Stage 1 of anesthesia
Begin induction to loss of consciousness
Stage 1 plane1 of anesthesia
No amnesia or analgesia
Stage 1 plane 2 of anesthesia
Amnesia and partial analgesia
Stage 1 plane 3 of anesthesia
Complete analgesia and amnesia
Stage 2 of anesthesia
-Loss of consciousness to onset of auto breathing
-can be bothered/unsettled
-move through quickly
Stage 2 anesthesia symptoms (5)
-Delirium
-Undesired CV excitation
-Laryngospasm
-Emesis
-Dysconjugate eye movement
Stage 3 of anesthesia
-Onset of auto breathing to respiratory paralysis
Stage 3 plane 1 of anesthesia
Cessation of eyeball movement
Stage 3 plane 2 of anesthesia
-Beginning of intercostal muscle paralysis
-Increased tear secretion
Stage 3 plane 3 of anesthesia
-Desired for surgical start
-pupils dilate
-desired prior to muscle relaxants
Stage 3 plane 4 of anesthesia
Diaphragmatic paralysis (apnea)
Stage 4 of anesthesia
Stoppage of respiration till death
Tachyphylaxis definition
Tolerance
