Final Flashcards
Route of administration with most rapid onset and 100% bioavailability
IV
GABA receptors responding to all members of benzodiazepine drug class demonstrates
Selectivity
Stimulated mu opiod receptors always produce effects of analgesia and respiratory depression is an example of
Specificity
Receptor response is always the same
Specificity
Required drug concentration to elicit an effect
Sensitivity
Potency aka
Affinity
Maximum effect that a drug may produce
Efficacy
Chronic antagonist administration results in up-regulation
Receptor up-regulation
Number and sensitivity of receptors increases
Tolerance occurs
Requires larger doses of antagonists ot counteract larger numbers of receptors
Receptor up-regulation
From continued stimulation of cells by agonists
Receptor down regulation
Exposure of constant concentration of drug leads to diminished effects
Down regulation
Substance that binds to specific receptors and trigger cellular responses
Agonist
Mimics action of endogenous ligands binding to same receptors
Agonist
Drug that binds to receptors without causing conformational change
Antagonist
Bind to receptors but exert partial effects. May block effects of pure agonists
Agonist/antagonist
Stage of anesthesia: from beginning of induction of GA to loss of conciousness
Stage 1
Stage of inhalation anesthesia- from loss of consciousness to onset of automatic breathing
Excitement or delirium
Stage 2
From onset of automatic respiration to respiratory paralysis
Divided into four planes
Stage 3
Plasma concentration of drug exceeds capacity of metabolizing enzymes.
Results in a constant amount of drug metabolized per unit of time
Zero order kinetics
Constant fraction of available drug is metabolized in a given time.
Greatest amount of drug is cleared when plasma concentrations are greatest
First order kinetics
Time necessary for plasma concentration to decrease by 1/2
Elimination 1/2 time
Elimination 1/2 time is ________ r/t Vd
__________ to clearance
Directly released to Vd
Inversely proportional to clearance
Are elimination 1/2 times dependent on dose?
No. Independent of dose
The greater the inspired concentration of a volatile agent, the sooner alveolar and brain concentrations approach inspired concentrations
Concentration effect
Influences concentration of any gas given concomitantly with N2O
Second gas effect
Second gas effect- greatest kinetic advantage with ______ soluble volatile inhalation agents
More
The higher the BGPC the ______ soluble an anesthetic
More soluble
Slow or hasten FA/FI equilibration Second gas Concentration effect Decreased CO Increased MV Lower BGP Decreased tissue uptake
Hasten FA/FI
Slow or hasten FA/FI- Increased CO Decreased ventilation Higher BGP Increased tissue uptake
Slow FA/FI equilibration
First body compartment to equilibrate with FA
