Inhaled anesthetic effects Flashcards
Rank the anesthetics based on solubility (Desflurane, Halothane, Isoflurane, N2O, Sevoflurane)
Halothane>Isoflurane> N2O=Desflurane=Sevoflurane
Ranke the anesthetics based on potency
Desflurane, Halothane, Isoflurane, N2O, Sevoflurane
Halothane> Isoflurane> Sevoflurane> Desflurane»_space; N2O
What are the effects of N20?
Increased cerebral blood flow, nausea and vomiting
Cerebral oxygen consumption (*)
Increases (halothane)
Intracranial Pressure(*)
Increases (halothane)
EEG frequency
Decreases
EEG amplitude
Increases
Systemic vascular resistance(*)
decreases (not halothane)
HR(*)
Increases by isoflurane and desflurane (desflurane the most)
Myocardial function(*)
Decreases (halothane)
Myocardial O2 consumption
decreases
Tidal volume
decreases
Respiratory rate
Increases
Response to hypercarbia/hypoxemia(*)
Decreases (isoflurane)
Airway resistance (*)
Decreases (could also increases with desflurane)
