Lecture 16: Inhaled Anesthetics Flashcards
What do inhaled anesthetics do
- Depress CNS
- Decrease excitatory NT release- inhibit nicotinic receptors and activate K+ channels- hyperpolarize
Potency is proportional to ___solubility
Lipid
The partial pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the ___
Solubility of the gas in solvent
The solubility is expressed b the ____coefficient
Blood: gas partition coefficient
The more lipid soluble an anesthetic the more ___it is
Potent
Drugs that are very soluble in blood will take ___to reach equilibrium and get to brain
Longer
Drugs that are less soluble in blood will have a ___onset of action and more __recovery
Faster, rapid
Drugs that have a ___blood pass partition equilibrate more rapidly than those with ___one
Low, higher
More ventilation results in ___
More anesthetic gets to alveoli- faster induction
Partial pressure in the blood can be increased by ___rate of ventilation during induction
Increasing
The brain has a ____level of perfusion therefore drug gets in quickly
High
Areas with high perfusion will clear the drug more ___when gas is turned off
Quickly
Inhalants are eliminated through __
Lung
Entry and loss to and from fat is ___because perfusion is low
Slow
Low solubility in blood= ___elimination
Fast
Elimination of anesthetics are faster if blood: gas coefficient is ___
Low
What is 1 MAC of inhaled anesthetic defined as
Concentration at 1atm that prevents skeletal muscle movement in response to very painful stimuli in 50% of population
The lower the MAC the more __the drug
Potent
___MAC will cause anesthesia in 95%
