Induction agents & Properties Flashcards
Propofol class
Sedative Hypnotic medication
Is propofol water or lipid soluble
Lipid Soluble
Propofol contains
Soybean, glycerol, Egg
Does propofol emulsion cause histamine release
NO
Propofol should not be administered to
Patient who has had an anaphylactic reaction to eggs
What is the most commonly used IV administered anesthetic induction agents?
PROPOFOL
Good properties of propofol
Rapid onset and offset
Rapid redistribution
Low N/V
Does propofol has any antiemetic effects
Yes
So good that they administered in PACU at times 10-20mg for post op N/V
Induction agents that causes the most hypotension
PROPOFOL
Propofol : Pain on injection attenuated with
Lidocaine.
CNS effects of Propofol
Stimulation of GABA-A receptors is likely responsible for anesthetic properties of drugs.
Induction dose of propofol produces anesthesia lasting
5-10 minutes
CV effects of Propofol
Dose related Decrease BP, SVR
Decrease myocardial contractility at HIGHER DOSES
RESP effects of propofol
Dose dependent decrease or respiratory drive
Ventilatory response to CO2 is decreased
Prolonged infusion can produced Green urine for this drug? Why?
Propofol; Because of the presence of Phenolic or quinol metabolite
Propofol excretion is
urine
Propofol effect on renal, liver, and coagulation
None
Propofol and NMB
Increases the depth of blockade NOT THE DURATION
Propofol induction dose
Alternate
Loss of consciousness within
1.5 - 2.5mg/kg
20 to 40 mg until onset of unconsciousness
60 sec or less
Propofol dose should be reduced in those patients
Older, hypovolemic and poor cardiac reserve
Propofol infusion/maintenance dose is
20 to 200 mcg/kg/ min
Propofol METABOLISM
Hepatic to water-soluble sulfate and glucuronide conjugates
ETOMIDATE best benefits
Rapid onset and offset
MINIMAL CV effecs
CEREBRAL PROTECTION
ETOMIDATE is a weak acid or base
Weak base
ETOMIDATE MOA
Causes neuronal hyperpolarization and subsequent depression of the reticular activating system through the inhibition of neural signals.
Increase affinity of GABA receptor for GABA molecule
For Etomidate what is responsible for the rapid offset due to an initial decrease in plasma concentration
REDISTRIBUTION
What kind of diseases can DOUBLE the half time of ETOMIDATE?
Renal or hepatic disease (LOW PLASMA PROTEIN)
For ETOMIDATE: Following an intravenous administration of a bolus, _________exists in the nonionized form in plasma, ______ of which is protein bound, primarily to
99% of etomidate ; 75% ; albumin.
