Intravenous Flashcards
Iv anaesthetics
include propofol, etomidate, ketamine, and barbiturates (e.g., thiopental)
standard drug for induction of anesthesia
Propofol
most commonly used in cases of hemodynamic instability
Etomidate
plays a key role in emergency medicine because of its strong dissociative, sympathomimetic, and analgesic effects
Ketamine
reduces intracranial pressure, making it useful in patients with high intracranial pressure and/or head trauma
Thiopental
Propofol
TIVA, induction ant maintenance
Sedative/hypnotic
an agonist on GABAa receptors and sodium channels of the reticular formation.
Rapid onset and recovery
Onset ~ 40 sec
90% protein binding
-Rapid sequence induction (ET intubation with rapid induction of unconsciousness followed by admin of a paralytic agent)
-Sedation in ICU
-Short procedures
↓ICP, BP, HR, CO, SVR and RR
hypnotic, antiemetic, and anticonvulsant, amnestic
Antipruritic
-No analgesic or muscle relaxant effects
-hepatic + extra- metab - green conj in urine
Av Eff:
Dose dependent hypotension (impair barorfx)
respiratory depression - hypoxia, apnea + BDZ synergy
Propofol infusion syndrome
Fat overload syndrome
Inj site pain, allergy - egg/soy
Propofol infusion syndrome
High doses-prolonged
1.Severe metab acidosis
2. renal/cardiac Failure
3. Rhabdomyolisis
ELEVATED TG!!!
Propofol doses
1-2 mg/kg bolus + 0,5 mg/kg every 3-5 min
(1mg/kg iv in mixture)
TIVA 6-12 mg/kg/h
the drug of choice for TIVA, especially for patients with an intermediate to high risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).
Propofol
TIVA
Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA)
A technique for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia using IV drugs alone, w/o inhalational agents
etomidate
Acts on the GABA receptors in the reticular formation
Rapid onset and recovery
Only iv, induction
Hypnotic effects
↓ Intracranial pressure
Anticonvulsant effects
Little to no effect on the cardiovascular system
= Anesthesia for patients with hemodynamic instability
No analgesic or muscle relaxant effect
Transient acute adrenal insufficiency
Post-op N/V
Myoclonus (disinhibitory effect), painful inf, porfiric crisis
Etomidate dose
/eto-sto 100mcg/
0.1-0.3 mg/kg
+ 0.05 mg/kg every 3-5min
Ketamine
Ideal emergency anesthesia for polytrauma patients; ICU sedation
Short painful procedures (e.g., fracture reduction)
Treatment-resistant asthma
Treatment-resistant depression
NMDA receptor antagonism → dissociative anesthesia (state with analgesia, intact reflexes, spontaneous breathing, amnesia, and no complete loss of consciousness)
sympathomimetic effects: increased BP, HR, CO
Increased cerebral blood flow, ↑ Intracranial pressure
ANALGESIA!!
#Bronchodilation - Treatment-resistant asthma
Acute psychotomimetic effects: disorientation, hallucinations, vivid dreams, nightmares (BDZ to prevent), nystagmus, ↑ Oxygen demand and ↑ pulmonary arterial pressure,
↑ Salivation, emetogenic
Ketamine doses
(1-5-10)
Iv 1-2 mg/kg - onset 1 min
Im 5-10 mg/kg - onset 5-15 min
0,2-0,5 iv to facilitate fx positioning
Oral - onset 30 min
Thiopental
Iv induction (esp., short procedures, in case of risk of raised intracranial pressure during the operation - for brain edema)
Sedation for electroconvulsive therapy (e.g., methohexital), in status epilepticus
Convulsion during or after anesthesia
80% protein bind!!
Twelve % free unionized
↓ ICP, as well as sedative, hypnotic, and antiepileptic effects
High lipid solubility (rapid distribution into fat)
rapid onset of action due to quick transfer across the blood-brain barrier → brief recovery time due to redistribution into skeletal muscles and adipose tissue
Little to no analgesic or muscle relaxant effects
Decreased IOP 40%,
Hypotension, respiratory depression, apnea
COMPENSATORY tachy<3
Laryngospasm, bronchospasm (due to histamine release)
Myoclonus
Painful injection
Visual hallucinations
Vivid dreams
Bradycardia, arrhythmias
Polphyric crisis, anaphylactic
Endothelial damage when intra-arterial inj
↓ Intracerebral blood flow
Cytochrome P450 induction
Contraindications:
Hypersensitivity
Severe cardiovascular decompensation; conditions in which a decrease in blood pressure would be hazardous
Porphyria
Addison disease
Liver or kidney disease
Severe anemia
Thyroid disorders
Myasthenia gravis
Asthma
