16
Q

Hyper polarized

A

A change in the cell membrane potential that makes the inside of the cell even more negative, so we can’t respond to stimulation

17
Q

Hyperthermia

A

Abnormally high body temperature

18
Q

Hypothalamus

A

Center of the brain that influence of mood, motivation, and the perception of pain

19
Q

Hypoxia

A

 reduction of oxygen supply to tissues below the amount required for normal physiologic function

20
Q

Induction of General anesthesia

A

 Time required to take a patient from consciousness to stage three of anesthesia

21
Q

Maintenance of general anesthesia

A

Ability to keep a patient safely on stage three of anesthesia

22
Q

Medullary depression

A

Inhibition of automatic response is controlled by the medulla, such as breathing or cardiac function

23
Q

Medullary paralysis

A

Condition in which overdose of anesthetic shuts down cardiovascular and respiratory centers in the medulla, causing death

24
Q

Micro cilia

A

Tiny hairs that line the respiratory tract and continuously move, pushing secretions toward the mouth

25
Q

Minimal alveolar concentration MAC

A

Standard reference for inhaled anesthetics indicating the lowest concentration of anesthetic in the alveoli that keeps 50% of the patients from responding to stimuli

26
Q

Monitored anesthesia care

A

 setting in which intravenous sedation is followed by propofol and patient is observed, evaluating, and electronically monitored throughout the recovery period

27
Q

Neuroleptanalgesia

A

Condition in which a patient is quiet and calm and has no response to pain after the combined administration of an opioid analgesic (fentanyl) and a tranquilizer (droperidol)

28
Q

Neuroleptanasthesia

A

State of unconsciousness plus neuroleptanalgesia produced by the combined administration of nitrous oxide, Fentanyl and droperidol

29
Q

Nero transmitter gated ion channel

A

Receptor ion complex in the membrane that opens and allows rapid transmission of signal

30
Q

NMDA receptor (N-methyl D-Aspertate)

A

Glutamate receptor in the brain that causes excitation

31
Q

Preferred anesthetic

A

Produces adequate anesthesia with minimal side effects

32
Q

Synergism

A

When the action resulting from a combination of drugs is greater than the sum of their individual drug affects

33
Q

Therapeutic dose

A

Dose at which the desired effect is produced
