Isoflurane Flashcards
Isoflurane Pulmonary Effects
- respiratory depression
- less tachypnea than halothane
- most depression of ventilatory response to hypoxemia and hypercapnia
- similar impairment of the hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstrictor response
Isoflurane Physical Property: boiling point
48.5 C
Isoflurane Physical Property: SVP
239.5 mmHg
Isoflurane Physical Property: MAC
1.15 %
Isoflurane Physical Property: Blood/Gas Coefficient
1.4
Isoflurane Physical Property: Brain/blood coefficient
2.6
Isoflurane Physical Property: Muscle/Blood coefficient
4
Isoflurane Physical Property: fat/blood coefficient
45
Isoflurane Cardiovascular Effects: BP, PVR
-dose dependent decrease BP due to decreased vascular resistance
Isoflurane Cardiovascular Effects: CO
mild myocardial depress an since cardiac output does not increase in spite of increased LV filling pressure and decreased SVR
Isoflurane Cardiovascular Effects: CO enhanced patients
CCB
Isoflurane Cardiovascular Effects: chronotropy
negative chronotropic effect on SA node but normal conduction pathways are preserved much better than halothane
-turn iso down and junctional goes away
Isoflurane Cardiovascular Effects: HR
increased HR due to indirect activation of the SNS and activation o the ANS and baroreceptor responses to hypotension
Isoflurane Cardiovascular Effects: arrythmogenic
nonexistent with iso
-dose of epinephrine needed to induce ventricular arrhythmia is roughly four times that needed with halothane
Isoflurane Cardiovascular Effects: coronary artery
vasodilation and decrease coronary vascular resistance
