MAC and potency is _ proportional
inversely
How blood/gas solubility of drug influences uptake/distribution:
lower the coefficient= faster anesthetic rises in lungs; faster induction + emergence
higher the coefficient= slower anesthetic rises in lungs; slower induction + emergence
How CO influences uptake/distribution:
If CO increases, onset of all anesthetics SLOW (Palv)
-affects SLOW drugs more than FAST drugs bc of Fa/Fi ratio-increased CO removes drug at quicker rate
-ISO uptake is affected the most
How oil/gas solubility influences uptake/distribution:
describes potency; if highly potent it is slow to go in, slow to come out; halothane most potent, N20 least
-high OG solubility = more potent
-low OG solubility = less potent
How V/Q deficits influence uptake/distribution: which drugs are effected most?(3)
less than normal lungs go to sleep slower than normal lungs
-there is a decrease in onset rate especially for LOW blood/gas coefficient or more INSOLUBLE drugs-N2O, SEVO, DES
