Induction Agents Flashcards
what are the names of the stages of anesthesia according to unit 2
analgesia, delirium, surgical anesthesia, and medullary paralysis
a patient in stage 1 of anesthesia should be able to
open their eyes on command, breathe normally, maintain airway, and tolerate mild stimuli
what might you see during stage 2: delirium of anesthesia
cv instability, rapid ocular movements, laryngospasm, emesis
how long does stage 2 of anesthesia typically last
30s-1 min
5 components of surgical anesthesia
hypnosis, analgesia, muscle relaxation, sympatholysis, and amnesia
in stage 4 of anesthesia the patient is experiencing
loss of all reflexes, marked hypotension and flaccid paralysis
what is the gold standard induction agent
barbiturates
MOA of barbiturates
potentiate GABA A activity; mimics GABA with activity on glutamine, adenosine, and neuronal nach receptors
barbiturates do what to CBF and CMRO2
decreases by 55%
cerebral vasoconstriction is a positive attribute of barbs because
it decreases CBF and CMRO2 and has anticonvulsant properties
barbiturates have no
analgesic properties
barbiturates have a rapid onset and awakening due to
rapid redistribution
with prolonged infusion, barbs have
a long context sensitive half time
at 30 minutes, how much barbiturate is left in the brain
10%
what is the site of initial redistribution of barbs
skeletal muscle
we dose barbiturates on
ibw
excretion of barbiturates is through
kidneys
where are barbs metabolized
hepatocytes
what do barbiturates preferentially bind
albumin 70-85%
a non ionized drug favors an
acidic environment
an ionized drug favors an
alkalotic environment
what is the fat/blood coefficient for thiopental
11
E 1/2 time of thiopental is longer than
prop and etom
methohexital has a ______ lipid solubility than pentothal despite having a _____ non ionized form
lower; 76%
What excitatory phenomena is methohexital associated with
hiccoughs and myoclonus
a continuous infusion of methohexital could cause
post op sz activity
methohexital causes seizures in patients undergoing temporal lobe resections d/t lowering the seizure threshold; but during this procedure, it may decrease sz duration
ECT
list the most important CV side effects of methohexital and the dose associated with it
when given 5 mg/kg, we can see a decrease in sbp 10-20 mmhg, a decrease in hr 15-20 bpm; we can see histamine release and may need to have vasopressin ready; and we can see lack of baroreceptor response in patients with CHF, hypovolemia, and beta blockade
list the most important pulmonary effects of methohexital
depresses medulla and pontine causing apnea; makes patient less sensitive to CO2 causing slow return to spontaneous ventilation
in someone who has a decreased ventilatory drive, how would we prepare for extubation
slow the frequency of the vent, decrease tidal volume, and let CO2 build up to trigger spontaneous respiration
what kind of monitoring is required for administration of barbiturates
somatosensory evoke potential or SSEP
what is one side effect to be wary of that may occur days after the administration of barbs
enzyme induction appx 2-7 days post infusion; especially can deactivate anticoagulants
rapid injection of propofol will can unconsiousness in
30s
lecithen is associated with
egg yolk
MOA of propofol
modulator of GABA A receptor causing transmembrane chloride conductance to increase
where is propofol cleared the most
the lungs
main metabolism of prop is
cyp450
e 1/2 time of propofol
30 mins to 1 1/2 hours
context sensitive half time of an 8 hour propofol infusion
40 minutes
the context sensitive half time of prop is shorter than
barbiturates
what are props’ metabolites
glucuronide and sulphate
what is cleared the fastest between ketamine, propofol, and etomidate
propofol
propofol will do what to blood pressure and heart rate
decrease it
etomidate will do what to blood pressure and heart rate
have no effect
