lect 16 drugs and surgery Flashcards
first used anesthetic
diethyl ether
non flammable anesthetic later developped
halothane
in addition to general anesthetic other drugs used to suppress what
ANS, endocrine reflexes, somatic reflexes
mixture of other drugs to anesthetic increase both what
effectiveness of anesthesia and safety of anesthesia
how to suppress pain reflexes in surgery
anelgesics or muscle relaxants
drugs that reverse muscle relaxation so no paralyzation
reversal agents
inhalational aanesthtics examples (5)
diethyl ester prototype. halothane, isoflurane, nitrous oxide, sevoflurane
anesthesia used for short procedures
intravenous anesthetics
types of intravenous anesthetics
benzo, barbiturates, opoids. propofol
most commonly used IV anesthetic worldwide to induce anesthesia
propofol
rate of drug delivery is determined by what
partial pressure of anesthetic in gas
partial pressure of gas is proportional to what
its concentration
induction of drug gas pathway
alveoli–>blood vessels–>main arterial blood–>brain due to high flow
metabolism of inhalation anesthetic
not much so most is unchanged and breathed out
if anesthetic soluble in blood than what happens to brain
not much availability going into brain and takes longer to leave the blood
effective anesthetic that get quick to brain and less amount than halothane
nitrous oxide (lipid soluble)
does blood flow affect rate of anesthetic uptake in different locations
yes greater blood flow in brain even if its a very small proportion to the total of the body
two factors increasing affecting rate of induction
increased concentration of anesthetic and increased alveolar ventilation
two factors decreasing affecting rate of induction
increased solubility
increased cardiac output
elimination of inhalation anesthetic
via exhalation
minimal alveolor concentration meaning
amount of drug that produces anesthesia in 50% of patients
how to calculate total MAC
take each gas component in mixture since it is additive to get 1 MAC
anesthetic effect on respriration
depresse respiration, pCO2 high and minute ventilation decreases
anesthetic effect on cardiovascular
cardiovascular depression, blood pressure declines. cardiac output variable differentiates between drugs
inhalation anesthetic that is less powerful at depressing blood pressure
sevoflurane
anesthetic that does not cause pCO2 buildup and CO not badly affected. most often the choice of drug
isoflurane
has huge MAC and used as adjuvant
nitrous oxide
why was halothane replaced
unwanted effects like nausia vomiting and sensitization of CV system
why is isoflurane widely used (3)
no cardiac sensitization, good muscle relaxant, no toxic metabolites
anesthetic barbiturate that cant be used because build up in tissue and has long half life
thiopental
