Lab Final Flashcards
1.Begins with the administration of the anesthesia and lasts until
consciousness is lost.
2.During this stage although the patient is conscious, they are
feeling little to no pain.
Analgesia- stage 1
- During this stage a patient, even though unconscious, may
thrash, experience increased muscle tone, rapid breathing and/or
involuntary eye movements
Excitement or Delerium- stage 2
- During this stage the patient is breathing normally, muscle tone
is relaxed and there is no pain. - It is important to check the pedal and corneal reflexes to insure
that the patient is in stage 3, which is the proper stage to perform
surgery
Surgical Anesthesia- stage 3
inhalable anesthetics
1. These anesthetics have rapid action, few side affects and are
easy to administer (e.g. nitrous oxide, ethylene).
Potent and flammable
Gaseous
inhalable anesthetic that is liquid at room temperature but
easily evaporates into a gaseous state.
1.These anesthetics are lipid soluble and pass into the blood and
cells easily.
2. Because of this they are easily tied up in fat cells and have a
slow induction time, but it is easily administrated.
Ex: Ether, Halothane
Volatile
- These types of anesthetics are incredibly useful, and rapid
acting, but once they are injected you can’t remove the anesthesia,
therefore the dosage level has to be carefully computed (e.g.
barbituates, ketamine, and carbamate—we use the carbamate
Urethane which is hepatotoxic and carcinogenic, so you need to
wear gloves!)
Injectable
Amount of blood pumped by each ventricle per minute
cardiac output
HR x TPR
Blood Viscosity
Radius of blood vessels
-how difficult it is for blood to travel through the blood vessels
total peripheral resistance
the outward force of blood against artery walls as it is pushed through the body.
blood pressure
CO x TPR
Amount of blood pumped by each ventricle in 1 heart beat
stroke volume
Long term control
Via the kidney, adrenal cortex, and right atrium
Hormonal
Short term control
Via Sympathetic & Parasympathetic Pathways
Neural
located in the arch of the aorta and at the birfurcation of the common carotids in respond to stretching of the blood vesslels
baroreceptor
when bp is low a build of waste occurs this stimulates the VMC
chemoreceptors
contracting of the ventricles
systole
