Ex2 IA Emergence Flashcards
Elimination of volatile anesthetics
washout
Elimination of anesthetic is primarily determined by
solubility of the agent
Emergence from a ______ soluble agent occurs faster
poorly soluble
Desflurane emergence occurs ______ than Isoflurane
Faster
A patient will not wake up until _____% of the anesthetic has been eliminated
80-90%
Recovery of inhaled anesthesia is dependent on
Solubility, Cardiac Output, Minute Ventilation
Faster emergence will occur with _____ cardiac output
higher
Faster emergence will occur with _____ minute ventilation
larger
Faster emergence will occur with _____ agent solubility
lower
Describe the process of the movement of IA in body during emergence
As the concentration of the anesthetic in the bloodstream decreases below the partial pressure of the anesthetic in the tissues, the tissues will begin to release the agent into the blood where it can be eliminated by ventilation
