IV anesthetics Flashcards
IVAA which has intrinsic analgesic property
Ketamine
IVAA which has antiemetic and appetite stimulating property
Propofol
IVAA with amnestic and anxiolytic property
Midazolam
Adjuvants for IVAA to produce TIVA
Opioid
LAA
MoA of Barbiturates
Depress RAS
Inhibit ACh
Enhance GABA
First barbiturate used
Hexobarbital
Gold standard of IV anesthetic inductional agent
Thiopental
Advantages of thiopental
Fast induction time
Fast recovery time
Fast elimination time
Disadvantages of thiopental
Localized pain on injection
Excitatory side effect
Induce tachycardia
IVAA widely used in dental anesthesia and day-case surgery
Thiopental
Effect of replacing Oxygen (oxybarbs) by Sulfur (thiobarb)
Increase lipid solubility
Barbiturate available for rectal administration
Thiopental
Methohexital
Barbiturate available for IM
Pentobarbital
Secobarbital
Property of Thiopental
High PPB
High lipid solubility
High non-ionized fraction
Redistribution time of thiopental
20-30 min
Effect of repeated dosage on redistribution
Peripheral compartment saturates
DOA becomes dependent on elimination
What does awakening depend upon?
Redistribution
What does recovery of psychomotor function depend upon?
Metabolism
More rapidly metabolized barbiturate
Methohexital (3-4X)
Factors that determine elimination of drug and recovery time
Elimination of drug from central compartment
Amount of drug present in the peripheral compartment
Rate of redistribution from peripheral into central compartment
Effect of high PPB on elimination
Decreases glomerular filtration
Effect of Barbiturate on CVS
Fall in BP
Rise in HR
Maintained CO
Sympathetic induced vasoconstriction (Increased PVR)
Factors that determine CVS effects of barbiturates
Volume status
Baseline autonomic tone
Pre-existing CVS disease
Rate of injection
Effect of Intra-arterial injection of barbiturate
Crystal formation in artery and capillary
Intense vasoconstriction
Thrombosis
Tissue necrosis
Remedy for Intra-arterial injection of barbiturate
IA injection of lidocaine Regional sympathectomy (brachial plexus block) Heparinization
Effect of Barbiturate on Respiratory system
Decrease response to hypercapnia and hypoxia
Does not completely depress airway reflex
Apnea
UAW obstruction (sedation)
Barbiturate more commonly associated with laryngospasm and hiccup
Methohexital
Cause for Bronchospasm after induction of thiopental + Remedy
Cholinergic nerve stimulation
Histamine release
Direct bronchial smooth muscle stimulation
Remedy
Atropine pre-treatment
Effect of Barbiturate on CNS
Decrease CBF + CMRO2
Decrease ICP
Increased CPP (drop in ICP exceede drop in MAP)
Which barbiturate relates a sense of taste of garlic/onion during induction
Thiopental
Which group of IVAA has an anti-analgesic effect (lower the pain threshold)
Barbiturates
Which IVAA are known to develop tolerance and dependence
Barbiturate
Ketamine (partial tolerance)
Which barbiturate induces involuntary muscle contraction)
Methohexital
What is the effect of Barbiturate on Renal system
Reduce RBF and GFR proportional to fall in BP
What is the effect of Barbiturate on Liver
Reduced Hepatic BF
Liver enzyme induction upon chronic exposure
Increase metabolic rate of some drugs (digitoxin)
Which group of barbiturates evoke mast cell histamine release
Thiopental (Sulfur containing barbiturate)
What are drugs that could increase/potentiate barbiturates?
Sulfonamide Ethanol Opioids Antihistamine Other sedatives
Propofol (Vs Thiopental)
Higher lipid solubility
Faster onset
Rapid recovery
Less hangover
Adjuvants of Propofol
10% soybean oil
- 25% glycerol
- 2% egg Lecithin
Remedy of pain on injection of propofol
Using larger veins
Prior administration of LAA or opioid (fentanyl, remifentanil)
Sodium metabisulfite in propofol
Newer formulations
Antimicrobial additive
Less pain on injection
