Exam 1 Flashcards
Anesthesia
artificially induces loss of ability to feel pain
Anesthesia purpose
to permit the performance of surgery or painful procedures. not ANS, no movement, not aware
GA
drug induces loss of consciousness
patient is not arrousable event to painful stimuli
don’t have to intubated/ vent or on volatile anesthetics
independent ventilatory function often impaired; airway, ventilation, cv support
Regional/ peripheral anesthesia
Insensibility caused by interrupting the sensory nerve conduction of a particular region of the body
Peripheral
spinal
epidural
LOC is unchanged (unless sedatives are used)
ventilatory/airway protection is maintained
Sedation
3 levels
spectrum of consciousness between awake and unconscious
minimal sedation
anxiolysis
ex; 2mg of versed
“I dont care” meds
responsive to verbal commands
airway, spont ventilation, cardiac function are unaffected
moderate sedation
ex; 5mg of versed
responsive to verbal/touch
no assistance needed with the pts airway
spont ventilation is adequate
cardiac function is usually maintained
Deep sedation
responsiveness after repeated or painful stimulations
assistance might be required for airway
spont ventilation is possible inadequate
cardiac function is usually maintained

Stage 1
Beginning of induction of general anesthesia to loss of consciousness (sternal rub and no movement)
Stage 1 1st plane
no amnesia or analgesia- normal
Stage 1 2nd plane
amnestic but only partially analgesic- still remember hurting
Stage 1 3rd plane
Complete analgesia and amnesia
Stage 2
Loss of consciousness to onset of automatic breathing
eyelash reflex disappears
coughing, vomiting, stuggling to occur
irregular respirations w/ breath holding
dangerous stage
high risk for aspiration and bronchospasms- dont extubate
dont touch, dont move, be quiet
Stage 3
onset of autonmatic respiration to respiratory paralysis (surgical plane)
Stage 3 1st plane
automatic respiration to cessation of eyeball movment
Stage 3 2nd plane
Cessation of eyeball movement to beginning of intercostal muscle paralysis; secretion of tears increase
Stage 3 3rd plane
beginning to completion of intercostal muscle paralysis; pupils dilate; desired plane prior to muscle relaxants
Stage 3 4th plane
complete intercostal paralysis to diaphragmatic paralysis (apnea)
Stage 4
stoppage of respiration till death
Drug effects to the number of _______
bound receptors
greatest effect = all receptors bound
Agonists
Activates receptor by binding to receptor
Hydrogen bonding
binding to a very electronegative atom
Ion/ electrocovalent binding
Oppositely charged ions
Van der alls interactions
the sum of attractive or repulsive forces; creates orbital shift
antagonist
binds to a receptor but does not activate the receptor
get in the way of the agonist.
Competitive antagonism
Increasing amounts progressively inhibit the agonist
Shifts dose response curves to the right
inc competitive antagonism = dec agonist response
Non-competitive antagonism
Even high concentrations of agonist cannot cause the agonist effect
Partial agonist
Binding to a receptor (usually at agonist site)
causes less response than the agonist even at supramaximal doses
Inverse agonist
Compete for the same site as the agonist but produce the opposite effect
Meds that use lipid bilayer R
Opioids, bzd, b-blockers, catecholamines, nmbd
meds that use intracellular proteins
Insulin, steroids, milrinone
Meds that use circulating proteins
anticoagulants
Pharmacokinetics
Quantitative study-Of injected and inhaled drugs (and their metabolites)
ADME
Central compartment
What dilutes the drug in the first minute following injection
Venous blood in arm, inferior vena cava, right heart, pulmonary vessels, lungs, left heart, aorta
Then mix with “vessel rich group”
Acidic drugs bind primarily to
albumin
Alkalotic bind drugs primarily to
a1-acid glycoprotein
Only______drug can cross cell membranes (distribution)/ dtermine concentration available to R (potency)
free/unbound
Causes of decreased plasma proteins
Age
Hepatic disease
Renal failure
Pregnancy
Thiopental and diazepam are ____protein binding
poor
they are also lipophilic
Big volume of distribution
Warfarin is_____protein bound to plasma proteins

prodrugs such as codeine
Examples of drugs that have active metabolites
diazepam (valium)
propanolol (inderal)
morphine
prodrugs such as codeine
What metabolizes drugs in the plasma
Hoffman elimination and ester hydrolysis
what metabolizes drugs in the GI tract/ placenta
Tissue esterase
Phase 1 metabolic reaction
increase polarity through; Oxidation, Reduction, or Hydrolysis
Phase 2 metabolism
covalently link with a highly polar molecule to become water soluble
Conjugation

CYP2A
55% homologous
Cyp2a6
the individual enzyme
Cyp3a4
most common
Up to 60% of cyP450 activity
Metabolizes > 50% of drugs: opioids, BZP, LA, immunosuppressants, antihistamines
Induction of metabolic enzymes……
Increased amount of enzyme/ metabolism
Inhibition of metabolic enzymes
Decreased activity of enzyme
Hepatic clearance
For most anesthetic drugs clearance is constant
Rate is proportional to concentration- More drug/more clearance
At some point metabolism is exceeded since liver capability is not unlimited
Rate of drug metabolism equation
R = Q (C inflow- C outflow)
CO x (concentration in - concentration out)
Flow limited hepatic clearance
Q limits metabolic rate
cardiac output?
Capacity limited
liver’s ability to metabolize is limiting factor
Glomerular filtration and renal clearance
GFR and amount of protein bound drug controls amount of drug entering tubule
Passive tubular reabsorption
Increased if drug lipid soluble, ie. thiopental (reabsorbed)
Almost zero for water soluble drugs are reabsorbed, they are excreted in urine
Active tubular secretion
From peritubular capillaries
Active transport process
penicillins
Elimination ½ time
Time necessary to eliminate 50% of drug from plasma after bolus dose
Elimination ½ life
Time necessary to eliminate 50% of drug from body.
