What is general anesthesia?

A

Drug induced absence of all sensations. Surgical general anesthesia is a state of unconsciousness, analgesia, amnesia and loss of reflexes.

ALL SENSASTIONS:
unconscuousness (asleep)

Q

What are 3 responses to anesthesia that we see in patients?

A

If the eyelid blink (reflex is abolished) when the eyelashes are stroked
If the patient swalling refelxes disaspeprs
If the repsiration become irregular in rate and depth

as anesthesia deepens, all the abive responses are reduced

27
Q

With an incr in depth of general anesthesia, what happens to your breath?

A

There is a progressive reduction in respiratory tidal volume. ( your breathing becomes shallow)

28
Q

What tends to vary directly with the depth of anesthesis ( this gives us an index of dosage)?

A

Arterial blood pressure

29
Q

For all halogenated inhalational anesthetics, there is a dose-dependsent reduction in what?

A

Blood pressure

This is the most practical way to measure depth of anesthesia

30
Q

All halogenated inhalationla anestheits reduce spontaneous ventilation in a concentration-dependent manner by doing what?

A

Depressing meduallry centers in the brainstem, reducing minute ventilation

decr medulla therefore red minute ventilation

31
Q

What is one main adverse effect of using anestheisa?

A

Malignant hyperthermia which is rare but lethal for genetically susceptible patients. It happens with the combined uses of halothane and succinylcholine. You see a lot of muslce rigifdity because you can’t requester the Ca2+ channel so actin and myosin can’t dissociate from each other.

ca fails to sequester

kind of like contracting, but you cant stop, so you incr body temp

32
Q

If a patient is experiencing malignant hyperthermia, what must be administered immediately?

A

Dantrolene

it acts on RYR receptors

33
Q

What is nitrous oxide?

A

Colorless gas with no odor/taste and it is administered with other inhalational anesthetics

neverrrr used alone, always as a mixture.

34
Q

20% of nitrous oxide has what effect?

A

analgesia

NO analgesic (NO pain)
very low potency

35
Q

What class drug is Thiopental?

A

Barbituate

36
Q

Thiopental
Analgelsic? Hyponitic? amnesic?
Lower or incr BP and why
Lower or Incr Minute ventilation and why

A

Very powerful hypnotic, poor analgesic (can incr sensitivity to pain if injected in inadequate amonts
Lower BP
decr Minute ventilation

reduces bp, bc is reduces cardiac output
redcues respiarion bc lowers sensitivity to meduallry respiratory center to CO2.

37
Q

Propofol is an ____ room temperature

A

oil

you have to make an emulsion of it, more soluble in lipid than in water

38
Q

Does propofol induce anestheisa faster, slower, or the same as thiopental.

A

Induces anesthesia the same as thipental BUT is has a significantly shorter half life.

39
Q

Propofol
amensic? analgesic? hyponitic?
incr or dec bp and why?
incr or decr ventilation?
is it used for day surgery?

A

hypnotic
decr bp bc. VASODILATION
decr ventilatiom
used for day surgery

it decr ventilation so much gthat is can cause apnea. you also experience pain at the site of injection

40
Q

Compared to thiopentol (barbituate), does diazepam take longer or slower for its anesthetic effect?

A

It is slower because its a benzodiazepam

41
Q

Midazolam is what class of drug?

A

Benzodiapines

has more rapid onset than diazepam or lorazepam

42
Q

Benzodiazepines
analgesic? hypnotic? amnesia?
Incr or decr BP?
Incr or decr Respiration

A

amensia (HALLMARK), very powerful (also causes sedation, reduction in anxiety)
decr BP moderately
decr respiration moderately

used alot in cardiac surgery

43
Q

What two types of drugs are analgesic?

A

Nitrous oxide and opiods

44
Q

What drug can reverse the action of benzodiazepines?

A

Flumazenil

45
Q

Are opiods powerful analgesics?

A

Yes

46
Q

Two examples of opiods to know

A

morphine and fetanyl

47
Q

What is a sever effect with a large dose of opiods?

A

respiratory depression (impariring ventilatation/respiration)

this is how they kil! They inr chest wall rigidity, hard to expand

48
Q

What is the antagonsits for opiods?

A

Naloxone (narcan)

naltrexone is another antagonist.

49
Q

What do local anesthetics do?

A

They reversibly block impulse conduction along nerve axons and other excitable membrhaners that use sodium channels as their primary means of action potential generation

blocks voltage gates sodium channels/ neural impulses on any tissue
want to keep it local bc if it gets into systemic circ it can cause severfe toxicity.

50
Q

Local anesthetics is used to achieve the loss of sesnation without the loss of

A

consciousness

blocks pain sensation

51
Q

Explain the chemistry of local anesthetics?

A

Lipophillic group (aromatic grp) connected by an intermediate chain (ester or amide) to an ionizable group (tertiary amine)

its a weak base

52
Q

Which local anesthetics are esters? Also mention if they are vasoconstrictors or vasodilators.

A

Cocaine (vasoconstrictor)
Procaine (vasodilator)
Tetracaine (vasodilator)

53
Q

Which local anesthetics are amides? Also mention if they are vasoconstrictors or vasodilators.

A

Lidocaine (vasodiltor)
Bupivacaine (vasodilator)

amide have two I’s

54
Q

Are local anesthetics weak bases or weak acids?

A

Weak bases pka ranges from 8-9

55
Q

What does the non-ionized and ionized form of weak bases do?

A

Non-ionized form penetrates the cells
Ionized form occupies sodium channels

56
Q

What is an example of a vasoconstrictor substance that reduce systemic absorption of the local anesthetics from the depot site by decreasing the blood flow.

A

Epinephrine

know that is is a vasoconstrictor, when it reducdes bf, there is less chance of it getting into systemic circulation to causing toxicity.

57
Q

Should epinephrine be co-administered when anesthestizing tissues with end arteries

A

NO

58
Q

Which have a shorter half-life ester or amide?

A

Ester

59
Q

Ester local anesthetics are rapidly transformed to inactive products through hydrolysis by what enzymes?

A

Plasma cholinesterase and liver esterase

goes through liver and plasma compartment

60
Q

Local anesthetics have higher affinity for activated, inactivated states, or resting (closed) state of the sodium channel.

A

They have a higher affinity for the activated and inactivated states than the resting state.

local anesthetics bind selectvly to the intracellular surface of voltage gates sodium channels and block the entry of sodium into the cell

61
Q

The. binding of local anesthetics to sodium channel is conformational (state) dependent or independent?

A

Dependent

62
Q

CNS toxcity

A

excitation, convusion, respiratory depression, seizures. It is impt to preveent hypoxemia and acidosis

63
Q

Cardiovascular toxicity

A

result partly from:
direct effect upon the cardiac and the smooth muscle indirect effect upon the autonomic nerves.

Local anesthetics block cardiac sodium channels, thus depress the cardiac function. With the exception of cocaine, they also depress the strength of cardiac contraction and cause arteriolar dilation.

cocaine does not cause contraction, incr dialtion
