16
Q

what is the Oil:Gas partition coefficient

A

measure of lipid solubility

17
Q

high lipid solubility means what for potency

A

more potent

18
Q

NO time of onset and potency

A

rapid onset, low potency

19
Q

halothane time of onset and potency

A

slow onset, high potency

20
Q

unconsciousness is caused by action where

A

RAS, thalamocortical circuits

21
Q

amnesia is caused by action where

A

the limbic system

22
Q

analgesia is caused by action where

A

nociceptive pathways

23
Q

group 1 anesthetics

A

etomidate
propofol
thiopental

24
Q

group 2 anesthetics

A

ketamine
nitrous oxide

25
Q

group 3 anesthetics

A

desflurane
isoflurane
sevoflurane

26
Q

how do group 1 anesthetics work

A

hypnosis and amnesia via enhancing inhibitory NT

27
Q

how do group 2 anesthetics work

A

analgesia by inhibiting excitatory NT

28
Q

how do group 3 anesthetics work

A

hypnosis, amnesia, and immobility by enhancing inhibitory NT and inhibiting excitatory

29
Q

NO issues

A

it diffuses into closed air spaces in the body - especially the bowel

30
Q

NO is abused because

A

It reduces methionine

31
Q

risks with halothane

A

malignant hyperthermia
hepatotoxicity
decreases cardiac output and blood pressure

32
Q

treatment for malignant hyperthermia

A

dentrolene

33
Q

neuroleptanalgesia/anesthesia

A

combination of fentanyl/droperidol
drowsiness but can respond to commands
