IV Anesthetics Flashcards
pKa of Thiopental and methohexitla
10-11
MOA of Barbituates
Potentiates GABAa Channel activity
Increasing the duration of GABA is active opning Cl channels
But directly activates GABA at higher doses
How are Barbituates metabolized and what does their metabolism produce?
Hepatic Metabolism by Oxidation
Producing Porhyrins
What are theh two barbituates seen in Anesthesia
Methohexital (Brevital)
Thiopental
Which Barbituate is cleared faster?
Methohexital is cleared faster than Thiopental
What is Methohexital mostly used for ?
Methohexital is used for ECT therapy becasue it lowers the seizure threshold
What are barbituate consideration with induction using barbiturates?
Age weight and mostly Cardiac Output
Vd changes with age
CNS effects of Barbituates
Dose dependant CNS depression
Decrease everything
CMRO2
CPP
CBF
ICP
EEG
NO ANALGESIA
Respiratory effects of Barbituates*
Histamine release (Asthma concern)
Resp Depression
Dose dependant depression of medullary and pountine vent centers
(Decrease in CO2 response)
Lose reflexes at high doses
CV effects of barbituates
thiopental and how
Thiopental causes 5-10 decrease in BP
This is due to vasodilation and depression of medullary vasomotor centers and decrease SNS outflow to CNS
BUT compensated by 15-20 BPM HR increase
Dosing of Thiopental
3-5 mg/kg IV
Induction Dosing of Methohexital
1-1.5 mg/kg IV
Name the Structure
Propofol
2,6 Diisopropylphenol
What is propofol used for
Sedation induction maintenance of anesthesia
What are the lipid emulsion components in Propofol
and in genenric forms?
10 % soybean oil
2.25 % Glycerol
1.2 % purified Egg Lecithin
Generic–> Sodium Bisulfate
Ph and pKa of Propofol
Diprivan and generic
pH- 7-8.5 Generic- 4.5-6.4
pKa- 11
How often do you need to Change syringe and tubing for prop
syringe- 6 hours
Tubing- 12 hours
Propofol dosing
Induction
Maintanence
Sedation
Antiemetic
Antipuritic
Induction- 1-2.5 mg/kg bolus
Maintanence- 100-300 mcg/kg/min
Sedation- 25-75 mcg/kg/min or
10-20 mg bolus
Antiemetic- 10-15mcg/kg/min
Antipuritic- 10 mg
MOA of Propofol
Direct GABAa agonist
Changes conductance of Cl causing neuronal hyper polarization
Does not effect spinal motor neuron excitability
What IV anesthetic is ideal for spine/neuro cases?
Propofol does not effect spinal neuron excitability
Precedex. Can be woken up for test easily
Propofol kinetics time to awake and why
Time to awake is dose dependant but usually 5-15 minutes
Rapid distribution throughout VRG
Propofol distribution half life
2-4 minutes
Propofol Elimination half-life
1-5 hours
Propofol clearance
25 ml/kg/min
Propofol protein binding
98 %
Does Propofol have analgesia properties
NO!
Neuro effects of Propofol
Decrease everything
CMRO2
CBF
ICP
IOP
BIG DROP IN CPP
Burst surpression in EEG
How much does propofol decrease blood pressure by?
What parameters go down (CO SVR SNS CI SV)
roughly 25-45 %
Decreases everything!
Respiratory effects of PROP
Dose dependant decrease in RR
Decrease Vt
Increase apnea time
Decrease sensitivity to CO2
Small Bronchodilation
What does prop do to urine and why
Turns urine green (Phenols) and Cloudy (uric Acid)
What does propofol not do?
Does not
Enhance NMBAs
cause MH
Affect Corticosteroid synthesis
Affect hepatic or renal function
What are people allergic to in propofol?
Diisopropyl side change and phenyl nuclei
Preservatives
What are key clinical characteristics of PRIS
EKG changes (widening QRS and arrythmias)**
Refractory Bradycardia**
Severe metabolic Acidosis
Rhabdo
Fever
Hyper K
Hypotension**
HLD
Hypoxia
Cardiac Failure
Hepatic Problems
RF
Risk Factors for PRIS
High dose for long term
Dose >5mg/kg/hr
>48 hours of use
High-fat low-carb intake
Inborn errors of mitochondrial fatty acid oxydation
Concomitant Pressors or steroids
