general and local anesthetics Flashcards
inhaled anesthetics
desflurane enfluane halothane isoflurane sevofulane nitrous oxide (gaseous)
IV anesthetics
propofol fospropfol barbituates benzodiazepines etomidate ketamine dexmedetomidine
barbituates
thiopental
methohexital
benzodiazepeins
midazolam
lorazepam
diazepam
local anesthetics
end in ‘caine’
esters
only have one i
amides
have 2 ‘i’s
desired effects of general anesthesia
-unconciousness
-amnesia
-analgesia
-inhibition of autonomic reflexes
-skeletal mm relaxation
to achieve all 5 must mix meds
balanced anesthesia
IV and inhaled combo
monitored anesthesia care
profound analgesia w/retention of pt ability to maintain a patent airway and respond to commands
volatile anestetics
must be administered with vaporizer
driving force for uptake of inhales anesthetics
alveolar concentration which is controlled with inspired concentration (partial pressure) and/or alveolar ventilation
the quicker the FA/FI approaches 1 the faster drug onset of action
blood:gas partition coefficient
defines relative affinity for blood compared to inspired gas
inverse relationship btwn blood:gas partition coefficient and rate of anesthesia onset
cardiac output
greater the CO slower onset of action
alveolar-venous partial pressure differences
anesthetic partial pressure differences btwn alveolar and mixed venous blood is dependent on tissue up-take
elimination of inhaled anesthetics
primarily by lungs
same as uptake principles, but in reverse
controlled with 2 parameters:
-concentration in inspired air
- alveolar ventilation
concentration cannot be below 0, but can induce hyperventillation
MAC
1 MAC is percent of anesthetic needed to sedate 50% of people
additive
stage I of CNS depression
Analgesia
initially experiences analgesia w/p amnesia, later both produces
stage II of CNS depression
excitement
delirious, may vocalize, but completely amnesiac
respiration, HR, and BP increase
stage III CNS depression
surgical anesthesia
begin w/slowing respiratory rate, HR
extends to complete cessation of spontaneous respiration (apnea)
changes in occular mvmts, eye reflexes, and pupil size
stage IV CNS depression
medullary depression
vasomotor centrer in medulla dn respiratory center
w/o respiratory and circulatory support death would ensue rapidly
reliable test to indicate stage III
loss of responsiveness to pain
trap squeeze
CV effects of inhaled anesthetics
depress normal cardiac contractility decrease MAP (dosage dependent) decrease in arterial BP -> activation of autonomic nervous system -> increased HR
respiratory effects of inhaled anesthetics
respiratory depressants -> rapid shallow breathing
ventilation usually required
w/prolonged exposure mucus pooling and plugging -> atelectasis -> post op complications
toxicity of inhaled anesthetics
nausea and vomiting
halothane- hepatitis on multiple exposures
renal toxicity
malignant hyperthermia
propofol MOA
potentiation of Cl curent via GABAaR
propofol allergic rxns
has soybean oil
glycerol
lecithin
egg yolk phosphatide
advantages of propofol
fast onset
fast clearance
recovery more complete (less hangover effect)
context-sensitive half time small
context-sensitive half time
time to elimination after discontinuation of drug
dependent on duration of use
