Q

An ideal anesthetic gas has a higher or lower solubility?

A

You want low solubility. With low solubility, you have less agent in the blood and more in the gas phase. You need to dissolve less gas in order to generate a certain partial pressure

16
Q

Non-soluble agents leave the lungs fast/slow which leads to faster induction.

A

slow

17
Q

Uptake = agent moving from ___ –> ____.

A

Lungs to blood

18
Q

What does uptake depend on?

A

agents solubility, cardiac output, and the difference in partial pressure of the anesthetic agent in the alveoli and pulmonary blood

19
Q

high uptake leads to fast / slow induction

A

slow

20
Q

T or F. A large between the agent in the blood and the agent in the lungs leads to a faster induction.

A

False. A small gradient means that uptake will be low and induction will be fast.

21
Q

What factors effect the speed of induction?

A

Uptake (Solubility x CO X (Palveoli - Pvenous))
Ventilation
Concentration

22
Q

Cardiac output functions as a ____ feedback loop for induction.

A

Cardiac output functions as a positive feedback loop. Low CO –> rapid induction –> lower CO –> more rapid induction

23
Q

As ventilation increases, rate of induction ____.

A

Increases

24
Q

Ventilation acts as ____ feedback loop for induction.

A

negative. high vent -> rapid induction -> lower ventilation

25
Q

The ____ Effect explains why N2O has a faster induction rate than Desflurane.

A

The Concentration Effect (“Overpressurization”)

26
Q

T or F. Induction is faster with N20 than Desflurane because N20 is less soluble than Desflurane.

A

False. Even though Des is less soluble than N2O, induction is faster with N2O because the inhaled concentration of N2O is greater than the concentration of Des.

27
Q

T or F. The Concentration Effect is seen with induction using N2O with another anesthetic gas - when N2O gets absorbed, the other gas is concentrated and FA increases leading to a faster induction rate.

A

False. This is called The Second Gas Effect

28
Q

T or F. A V/Q mismatch would explain why Fa does not = FA.

A

True

29
Q

T or F. There is no metabolism of inhalational anesthetics. They are eliminated through the lungs during exhalation.

A

False. There is some metabolism seen with halothane and methoxyflurane

30
Q

If you are using N2O and extubate to room air, the patient could experience ______ as N2O floods the alveolus and dilutes the oxygen.

A

diffusion hypoxia
