general anesthetics Flashcards
which stages of anesthesia do you want to avoid
stage 2: delirium with increased BP, muscle tone and respiration
stage 3 plane 4: close to death
induction of general anesthesia
start of administration until desired stage is reached
maintenance of general anesthesia
process of staying in desired range
recovery stage of general anesthetics
reversal of induction
2 types of drugs
volatile inhalants for maintenance
IV for induction and short procedures
non-halogenated gas
NO
halogenated hydrocarbon
halothane
induction and recovery time depend on what
rate of change which depends on blood solubility
less soluble means it will be
fast induction/recovery
more soluble means it will be
slow induction/recovery
less soluble is what kind of blood:gas coefficient
low
more soluble is what kind of blood:gas coefficient
high
halothane has what type of solubility
high
NO has what type of solubility
low
measure of potency
minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration
(MAC)
