Q

What severe condition(s) can occur with prolonged propofol infusions?

A
  • Hepatocellular injury or Propofol Infusion Syndrome.
24
Q

What is Propofol Infusion Syndrome?

A
  • Metabolic acidosis thought to occur from poisoning of electron transport chain and impaired oxidation of fatty acids.
25
Q

What percentage of etomidate is propylene glycol? What is the result of this?

A
  • 35% propylene glycol resulting in pain on injection.
26
Q

Which induction agent can be given without an IV? How is this?

A

Etomidate - can be given sub-lingual.

27
Q

Why does etomidate have a low incidence of myoclonus?

A
  • Trick Question. Etomidate has a high incidence of myoclonus, just like all other induction agents.
28
Q

What is the induction dosage, onset and Et1/2 for etomidate?

A
  • 0.3 mg/kg
  • Onset: within 1 min
  • Et1/2: 2 - 5 hours
29
Q

What is the best use for etomidate?

A
  • Induction for unstable cardiac patients.
30
Q

Etomidate has a dose dependent inhibition of the conversion of cholesterol to ____.
What does this mean clinically?

A
  • Cortisol
  • Etomidate decreases SNS capability to respond to stress (longer vent times, hypotension, etc.)

Also can have adrenal suppression

31
Q

How long does adrenocortical suppression with etomidate last?
What two pathologies would cause you to hesitate before giving etomidate?

A
  • 4-8 hours.
  • Sepsis & hemorrhage (anything where you need an intact cortisol response).
32
Q

What are ketamine’s two greatest advantages over propofol or etomidate?

A
  • No pain at injection (no propylene glycol)
  • Analgesia at sub-anesthetic doses.
33
Q

What are the two greatest disadvantages of ketamine?

A
  • Emergence delirium
  • Abuse potential
34
Q

What is Benzethonium Chloride? What is it’s relevance?

A
  • Ketamine preservative that inhibits ACh receptors
35
Q

Differentiate S(+)Ketamine vs R(-)Ketamine.

A

S-Ketamine (left-handed isomer) is essentially better.

  • More intense analgesia
  • ↑metabolism & recovery
  • Less salivation
  • Lower emergence delirium
36
Q

What is Ketamine’s main mechanism of action?

A
  • Non-competitive inhibition of NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors by inhibiting pre-synaptic release of glutamate.
37
Q

What is Ketamine’s Induction dose (IV and IM), time of onset? (IV & IM)
When would this drug be utilized IM?

A
  • 0.5 - 1.5 mg/kg IV
  • 4-8 mg/kg IM
  • IV onset: 1 min
  • IM onset: 5 min (mostly for pediatric patients)
38

In what patient population is ketamine tolerance most often seen?

A

Burn patients

39

Ketamine is a potent sialagogue. What does this mean for your clinical practice?

A
  • Manage excessive secretions during intubation & watch for coughing/laryngospasm.
  • Give Glycopyrrolate prior
44
Q

What “other systems” effects does ketamine have?

A
  • Non-depolarizing NMBs enhancement.
  • Succinylcholine prolongation via plasma cholinesterase inhibition.
  • PLT aggregation inhibition
45
Q

Which induction agent has the highest analgesic properties?

A
  • Ketamine
46
Q

Why would ketamine be a decent induction drug for an OSA patient? Why not?

A
  • Preservation of upper airway reflexes & ventilatory function - also a bronchodialator.
  • Sialagogue.
47
Q

What should be administered with etomidate to prevent involuntary myoclonic movements?

A

Fentanyl 1-2 μg/kg IV

48
Q

CAD cocktail

A

Diazepam 0.5 mg/kg IV
Ketamine 0.5 mg/kg IV
Continuous Ketamine Infusion - 15 to 30 mcg/kg/min IV

49
Q

What drug and dosing of said drug should be used to treat excessive salivary secretions from ketamine administration?

A

Glycopyrrolate: 0.2mg

50
Q

Why does ketamine prolong succinylcholine’s effects?

A

Ketamine is a plasma cholinesterase inhibitor.

51
Q

What is the induction dose of succinylcholine?

A

1 - 1.5 mg/kg

52
Q

What is the induction dose of rocuronium?

A

0.6 - 1.2 mg/kg

53
Q

What is the induction dose of cisatracurium, vecuronium, and pancuronium?

A

0.1 mg/kg

54
Q

What is the induction dose of Fentanyl?

A

1.5 - 3 mcg/kg

55
Q

What is the induction dose of Lidocaine?

A
