Induction Agents
N2O
Stage 1- Angelsia –> Stage 3
Anesthetic Potency _______ to Lipid Solubility (O/W)
proportional
Anesthetic Potency is______ proportional to MAC
INVERSELY
_____________ (reaching effective anesthetic brain concentration) is influenced by multiple factors of uptake and distribution of the general anesthetic
Rate of onset of anesthetic action
Concentration
Solubility
Increased concentration_________ by increasing rate of transfer into blood
increases rate of induction
Solubility of the anesthetic in blood
Defined by
blood:gas partition coefficient
Lower the blood solubility of the gas the faster the rate of induction
Rate of Onset inversely ______ to Blood Solubility
proportional
The greater blood solubility of ______ requires a longer time for partial pressure in blood to rise to that in alveoli - delaying rise of anesthetic concentration in brain
halothane
Medium rate of onset
halothane
Rapid onset
NO
