Lecture #15 - Drugs and Surgery Flashcards
First anesthetics?
Diethyl ether
Diethyl ether was replaced by? in 1956
Halothane, because
General anesthesia induce in patients?
Loss of consciousness/sensation
Amnesia
Relaxation of skeletal musc.
Autonomic and endocrine reflexes are then suppressed
Premedication aims at ?
reduce anxiety, pain, salivation
2 steps of general anesthesia: Induction goal
Second step?
1-Induce unconsciousness very quickly
2-maintains unconsciousness: volatile agent/gases
Inhalation anesthetics all en in?
Barbiturates often end in?
Benzo?
ane
al
am
IV tend to have… structure and volatile agents … structure.
ring - not ring
Pharmakokinetics of Inhalation Anesthesia two major components and their subcompanents?
1-Partial pressure of the gas
2-Blood flow: If high CO, less relative go to brain so reduce induction
If gas dissolved in blood does it still contribute to the gas partial pressure?
No
Is nitrous oxide a gas? Why better then all the other?
No, volatile liquid.
Because it doesn’t decrease blood pressure/respiration
Factors influencing rate of induction (4)?
1-Higher the {} in inspired gas the faster the induction
2-Higher ventilation = faster indution
3-GREATER THE SOLUBILITY OF GAS IN BLOOD, THE SLOWER THE INDUCTION RATE, BECAUSE LESS DRUG ENTERS THE BRAIN AND STAYS IN THE BLOOD.
4-High CO = lower relative {}to brain
MAC?
Minimal Alveolar Concentration = ED50. 1.3MAC is the gold standard
Respiratory depression caused by?
Increasing CO2 level in blood
Inhalationnal have musc. relaxant effect? Does NO have one?
Yes, no.
Metabolization of Inhalationnal?
1-2%, the rest is exhaled. Except halothane 15% met.
