A

No effect on ICP until >1.1 MAC

37
Q

EEG at < 0.4 MAC

A

Increases in voltage/frequency produced

38
Q

EEG 0.4 MAC

A

Amnesia occurs

CMRO2 begins to decrease

39
Q

43
Q

A

Decreases amplitude

44
Q

direct myocardial \_\_\_\_\_\_
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ of sympathetic outflow
Peripheral autonomic ganglion \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ 
\_\_\_\_\_\_ Carotid sinus reflex activity
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ cAMP
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ catecholamine release
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ calcium influx via slow channels
A

direct myocardial ___depression___
____inhibition___ of sympathetic outflow
Peripheral autonomic ganglion ___blockade____
___attenuated___ Carotid sinus reflex activity
____decreased___ cAMP
___ decreased_____ catecholamine release
____ decreased____ calcium influx via slow channels

46
Q

Effect of IAs on CSF

A

Iso improves rate of absorption

47
Q

Nitrous effect on CVS

A

Mild sympathomimetic stimulation - masks the cardiac depressant effects

  • mydriasis
  • increased body temp
  • increased catecholamine release
  • increased RAP
  • diaphoresis
  • vasoconstriction
48
