28
Q

Each 1% of agent at normal atmospheric pressure represents 1% of

A

760 mm Hg or

7.6 mm Hg pressure

29
Q

A blood gas solubility of 1.0 indicates that at equilibrium a concentration of anesthetic in arterial blood of 1% would mean

A

that the concentration in the lung would be 1%

30
Q

If the blood to gas partition coefficient is 2.0, the concentration in the blood must

A

equal 2% to achieve a concentration in the lung of 1%.

31
Q

iF B/G partition is 0.5 , how many molecules would it take for 1 molecule in blood

A

4

32
Q

follows Formulae

• Uptake=

A

cardiac output (Q) X concentration gradient
(alveolar to venous partial pressure difference) X
blood to gas solubility (λ)

33
Q

Higher cardiac output in VA

A

slower induction time

34
Q

For induction though, higher CO

A

Faster induction time

35
Q

37
Q

38
Q

Increasing FD:

A

overpressuring
Increasing the concentration on the
vaporizer to supraphysiologic levels
(Caution is warranted)

39
Q

Increasing FGF

A

Increasing the fresh flow rates via

anesthesia machine

40
Q

Increasing alveolar ventilation

A

Increasing rate and/or tidal volume
(note tidal volume must not exceed
dead space)

41
Q

Concentrating effect

A

The administration of a gas in high
concentrations will increase its own
concentration and the rate of rise in
FA/FI

42
Q

Second gas effect

A

The administration of a gas in high

of rise of the FA/FI of companion
gas

45
Q

A

46
Q

For example, isoflurane has a blood-gas partition coefficient of 1.4. This means that,

A

at equilibrium, the isoflurane concentration in the

blood would be 1.4 times the concentration in the gas (alveolar) phase

47
Q

The principle objective is to achieve

A

a constant and optimal brain partial pressure of the inhaled anesthetic

48
Q

The alveolar partial pressure (PA) of the inhaled anesthetic

mirrors

A

the brain partial pressure (Pbr)

49
Q

Functional Residual Capacity

51
Q

• Cardiac output
• Alveolar-to-venous partial pressure difference

52
Q

Transfer of inhaled anesthetic from arterial blood to brain (anesthetic loss)

A
  • Brain:blood partition coefficient
  • Cerebral blood flow
  • Arterial-to-venous pressure difference
53
Q

The PA and ultimately the Pbr of an inhaled

anesthetic are determined

A

by input (delivery) into alveoli MINUS (uptake) loss of the drug from alveoli into arterial blood.

54
Q

**Inhaled partial pressure (PI) is high during initial

administration to offset _____________.it is then decreased during maintenance to match the ____________

A

uptake from alveoli into arterial blood (similar to administering IV loading dose);
Decreased uptake as tissues accumulate anesthetic.

55
Q

Initial fraction of VA, More important for drugs that are MORE SOLUBLE (HIGHER PARTITION COEFFICIENT)

A

ISOFLURANE

56
Q

A high PI delivered from the anesthetic machine is required during_______• This will help__________
• With time, as uptake into the blood
decreases, the PI should be

A
  • initial administration to offset the impact of uptake.
  • accelerate induction of anesthesia.
  • decreased to match the decreased anesthetic uptake and therefore maintain a constant optimal Pbr.
57
Q

what is the second gas effect?

A

Ability of high volume uptake of one gas (first-gas) to accelerate the rate of increase on PA of a concurrently administered companion gas (second gas).

58
Q

Simultaneous administration of slower agent, such as halothane with a faster drug such as

A
nitrous oxide (in high concentrations) can
speed the onset of the slower agent.
59
Q

Controlled ventilation of the lungs that results in

hyperventilation and decreased venous return will________

A

accelerates the rate of increase in PA by virtue
of increased input (increased VA) and decreased
uptake (decreased cardiac output).
