Isoflurane Flashcards
The constant for the Meyer-Overton equation is __ atmospheres
1.8
The lower the MAC necessary for anesthesia, the __ the potency and the __ the oil:gas partition coefficient.
Greater potency
Higher oil:gas partition coefficient
The oil:gas partition coefficient for Iso is __
97
Again, the higher the Oil-gas partition coefficient, the __ the lipid solubility AND potency
Greater
Iso causes immobility to painful stimuli by enhancing __ ion channels and reducing spinal neuron action potentials via __ and ___ receptor mediation.
K+ channels
Glycine and GABAa receptor mediation
The effects of general anesthetics are very __ , many different receptors in both brain and spinal cord
Diffuse
Receptors involved in the spinal cord include __, 5-hydroxytriptamine, __, NMDA, __, and AMPA
Glycine, 5-hydroxytriptamine, Na+, NMDA, K+, and AMPA
Receptors involved in the brain include Kainate, ___, ___, alpha-2, 5ht3, ___
Kainate, GABA, OPIOID, alpha-2, 5ht3, ACETYLCHOLINE
CFC’s are colorless, odorless, nonflammable, noncorrosive gases or liquids. CFC stands for __
Chlorine
Fluorine
Carbon
If iso were entirely fluorinated it would be a non-___
Immobilizer
Racemic mixtures are __/__ mixes of stereoisomers
50/50
What is the BLOOD-gas partition coefficient of iso?
1.46
What is the vapor pressure of iso?
238
Is iso stable in moist soda lime and available generically?
Is it ok to use with a closed circuit?
YES
Yes
Stable in soda lime means it doesn’t make any bad compounds.
Does iso need a preservative? Does it produce compound A or carbon monoxide?
No
No
No
What is the metabolism rate of iso?
0.2%
