Intravenous Anesthetics Flashcards
Bind to GAB A receptor sites; increase duration of chloride channel opening
Thiopental
Binds to GABA A receptors, increases frequency of chloride channel opening
Midazolam
Blocks excitation by glutamate at NMDA receptors
Ketamine
Modulates GABAa receptors containing B3 subunits
Etomidate
Interact with mu, delta and kapa receptors for endogenous opioid peptides
Fentanyl
Potentiates GABA A receptors, blocks Na channels
Propofol
Also for increased ICP
Thiopental
May cause acute intermittent porphyria
Thiopental
Associated with post op respiratory depression
Midazolam
Dissociative amnesia
Ketamine
Emergence delirium
Ketamine
Esp for patients with limited cardiac or respiratory reserve
Etomidate
Adrenocoetical suppression
Etomidate
