exam 1 test rvw Flashcards
The sodium/potassium pump is responsible for? (choose 2)
Maintains oncotic equilibrium
Creates sodium gradient
Extra: 3 sodium out 2 potassium in, responsible for transmembrane electrical potential.
Tell me about halothane in regards to potency, onset, recovery, and vapor malfuctions?
High potency, quick onset and recovery
Vapor malfunction caused by thymol
Plasma fluoride concentration is higher after administration of sevoflurane than enflurane, but exposure of renal tubules to fluoride is limited because most elimination is through the?
Lungs
what can you do with Sevo in order to prevent the breakdown of compound A?
How does Sevo eliminate hydrogen fluoride?
Though controversial, 2 L/min of fresh gas flow prevents the breakdown of compound A
CO2 absorbents react with sevoflurane to eliminate hydrogen fluoride
The ratio between the LD50 and ED50?
Therapeutic index (TI)
The time required to change the amount of drug in the by body by ½ during elimination (or during a constant infusion) represented by? (give me a formula)
0.7 x Vd/Cl
Classification of propofol?
GABA agonist
Malignant hyperthermia moa?
Constant leak of Ca through ryanodine receptors
Greatest to least hepatic effects for volatile anesthetics?
order iso, enfl, halo, and des
Halothane>Enflurane>Isoflurane>Desflurane
properties of inhaled anesthetics, what is true about concentration and effects?
The higher the concentration of gas, the quicker the effects take place
what receptors do inhaled anesthetics work on? MOA?
Gaba receptor
influx of Cl- ions into the cell to hyperpolarize cells
Most soluble anesthetic gas in blood, RANK the top 4.
Sevoflurane was the answer on the exam.
halo, enflurane, iso would be even more blood soluble correct?
Which of the following was true in regards to Desflurane (Choose 2) tell me the boiling point and vapor pressure (also blood:gas)
Boiling Point 22.8
Vapor Pressure 669
Extra: blood:gas 0.42
molecular weight 168
Sevo blood gas solubility?
0.69
Formula for calculating plasma osmolarity.
2(Na)+0.055(GLU)+0.36(BUN)
Which of the following is NOT a part of pharmacokinetics?
Bioavailability
Extra: pharmacokinetics would be absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (what the body does to a drug).
What is true of hydrolysis: (give me two)
hydrolysis does not involve P450
Succs is broken down in the plasma by hydrolysis
Extra: occurs outside of the liver, also remifentanil, esmolol and ester LA are broken down by plasma via ester hydrolysis like Succs.
Na Atpase pump:(what goes in and what comes out)
3Na out
2K in
Chronic Alcoholic requiring more anesthetic gases, why?
Chronic alcoholism causes increased metabolism due to enzymes that break down the drug faster.
What is the order of potency for morphine? (order hydromorphone, morphine, sufent, and fent)
Sufentanil > fentanyl > Hydromorphone > morphine
Which drug is the least Protein binding?
Procaine–exam answer
tech. chloroprocaine would be correct bc it has none but I assume it was not an option on exam?
Exogenous epi dose
6mcg/kg
Which volatile agent causes transient increase in HR?
Desflurane
Malignant hyperthermia is caused from? (choose two)
Succinylcholine
Continuous release of calcium from the ryanodine receptor.
extra: volatile anesthetic gas would also be correct
What is the process of allowing temporary pre-op myocardial ischemia to prepare a patient for surgery?
Ischemic preconditioning
Which of the following gasses has a blood gas solubility that allows for rapid rise to equilibrium? (most rapid gas that we actually use)
Desflurane (most soluble)
Which gas is used as the first gas of the second gas effect?
Nitrous oxide
Gas that enters the mouth, pharynx, and trachea but does not reach the alveoli is referred to as?
Anatomical dead space
What is not stable in soda lime? (gas wise)
Sevo
The graph that has LD1 and ED99 and asks you which one does the CRNA want, where do you put the x?
you want it as close to ED99, like right on the line (third space basically), in between LD1 and ED 99
what LD and ED describes the need for vigilance?
LD1, ED99
Therapeutic index is not optimal. What is a more effective ratio for anesthesia?
LD1, ED99
