31
Q

rapid onset and short half life intravenous anesthetic

A

propofol

32
Q

why is diazepam not good for anesthetic

A

slow induction and super long half life when administered for longer

33
Q

midazolam produces amnesia so mix it with what to get what phenomenon?

A

mix with opioid to get conscious sedation

34
Q

opioids as analgesics effect on respiration and brainstem

A

depressed respiration, lower ventilation. more or less nausia

35
Q

opioids benefits for surgery

A

relief of pain and anxiety reduction

36
Q

total intravenous anesthesia

A

propofol for induction + opioid such as remifentanil + drug for amnesia such as midazolam + short acting muscle relaxant

37
Q

neurolept analgesia

A

fentanyl opioid + droperidol (antipsychotic) for minor surgery to relieve stress but not unconsciousness

38
Q

neurolept anesthesia

A

add also nitrous oxide

39
Q

ketamine

A

only intravenous anesthetic that stimulates cardiovascular system

40
Q

side effects of ketamine

A

dissociative anesthesia or dysphoria (intense hallucinations, anxiety and memories of surgery) so not favorite drug

41
Q

use of ketamine

A

burn patients, short term procedures for kids with cardiovascular concerns

42
Q

drugs that can treat nausea

A

ondanseron, 5HT blockers

43
Q

treat cough

A

dextromethorphan

44
Q

treat bradycardia (CV depression)

A

stimulants

45
Q

muscle relaxation treatment and reverse by what

A

anticholinergics

muscarinic agonists

46
Q

revrse msucle relaxation drug

A

muscarinic agonists

47
Q

main site of action of anesthetics

A

synapses

48
Q

presynaptic anesthetics and example

A

decrease transmitters release by blocking Ca channels. interfere with vescile docking/release (ex. isoflurane)

49
Q

postsynaptic anesthetics

A

effects on ligand gated ion channels increasing inhibition (GABA) snd decreasing excitation (glutamatergic transmission NMDA, cholinergic receptors)

50
Q

all anesthetics show power to increase inhibition by acting on gaba a receptors except

A

ketamine

51
Q

ketamine mostly has effects on what and blocks what

A

effect on spinal cord and blocks NMDARs

52
Q

neuromuscular blocking agents

A

blocks various reflexes and allow endotracheal intubation and ventilation so patient not fighting respirator. permit lower levels of aanesthetics

53
Q

neuromuscular blocking agent permit lower levels of what

A

anesthetics

54
Q

competitive nondepolarizing blocking agent

A

reversible and competitive, compete with acetylcholine for binding. can be short intermediate or long acting

55
Q

metabolism of nondepolarizing agents

A

plasma cholinesterase inactiavtes some of them when diffused from synapse to plasma. broken down in liver, excreted in kidneys

56
Q

depolarizing non competitive agents

A

short half life, rapid onset. binds to cholinergic receptor such that channel stays open for a long time. receptor becomes desensitized

57
Q

depolarizing non competitive agent example

A

succinylcholine

58
Q

both depolarizing and nondepolarizing neuromuscular agents dont cross BBB

A

TRUE

59
Q

rare genetic defect that blocks inactivation succinylcholine

A

genetic defect in plamsa pseudocholinesterase

60
Q

defect in plasma pseudocholinesterase use to inactivate succinylcholine does one

A

trouble breathing (apnea) increase as succinylcholine keeps getting administered

61
Q

local anesthetics

A

smaller fibers like a delta and c fibers carrying pain so more sensitive to local anesthetics

62
Q

local anesthetics target what channels

A

voltage gated sodium channels along the axon

63
Q

local anesthetics effects on sodium

A

block sodium influx, blocking propagation of action potential

64
Q

local anesthetics act better on which type of nerves and why

A

unmyelinated nerves because larger surface area of plasma membrane so easy access of anesthetic inside cell

65
Q

local anesthetic is often injected with what in order to prolong their action aand why

A

adrenaline because it causes vasoconstriction, reduce in blood flow so longer for anesthetic to reach systemic circulation. (altered pharmacokinetics)

66
Q

example of local anesthetic

A

lidocaine

67
Q

local anesthetics are weak acids or bases

A

weak bases

68
Q

what happens to local anesthetics if tissues ph lowered.

A

decrease in amount of lipid soluble drug that can enter neuron–>decrease effect of local anesthetic

69
Q

two categories of local anesthetics

A

ester (procaine) and amides (lidocaine)

70
Q

standard structure of local anesthetic

A

ring, linker region and amine group

71
Q

local anesthetics with ester links are metabolized by what

A

metabolized by plasma cholinesterase and shorter half lives

72
Q

local anesthetic duration with ester links in spinal fluid

A

longer duration because spinal fluid is low in esterase

73
Q

metabolism of local anesthetic amides

A

metabolized in liver and longer half life so more potency

74
Q

side effects of local anesthetic

A

large amounts can cause respiratory and cv arrest because interfering with neuronal activity.
loss of sensation of cold, heat, pain, touch, deep pressure

75
Q

EMILA cream and used for what

A

mixture of local anesthetics in cream form to increase absorption across skin as it changes solubility

used to relieve pain associated with vaccinations so that kids dont feel anything
