-Morphine
“Too Many People Miss” IV?

-Morphine
(Intravenous)
CAINE?
Local Anesthetics
No Pain with?
Caine
2 I’s?
Amide
Local Anesthetics?
-Cocaine
-Procaine
-Tetracaine
-Lidocaine
-Bupivacaine
General Anesthetics?
-Inhaled (Volatile liquids)
-Gas (NO)
-Intravenous
General Anesthetics cause?
(Surgical Anesthesia)
(Drug-Induced absence of all sensations)
-Unconsciousness (Asleep)
-Analgesia (No Pain)
-Amnesia (No Memory)
-Loss of Reflexes (Don’t move)
General Anesthetics Administered via?
1) Intravenous (very quick to put a patient asleep)
2) Inhalational (Maintain)
Balanced Anesthesia?
Anesthesia with a mix of inhaled and intravenous anesthetics
Evaporates at room temperature?
Volatile liquid
Barbiturates?
(Thiopental) Hypnotic
Benzodiazepines?
(Midazolam) Amnesic
Phenols?
(Propofol) Very Short Half-Life
Opioids?
(Morphine) Analgesic
Intravenous drugs tend to reduce?
Blood Pressure
Among the most dangerous drugs approved for general use?
Inhalational Anesthetics
Kinetics of Uptake and Distribution of Anesthetic?
1) Rate of entry is controlled by respiration, a cyclic process
2) Elimination occurs in the lungs (except for methoxyflurane and halothane)
Rate of entry is controlled by?
(Respiration, a cyclic process)
-Tidal Volume: amount of air in lung when you take a breath
-Rate of Respiration: # of breaths per minute
-Minute Ventilation: amount of air going in and out of lungs per minute
Minimum Alveolar Concentration (MAC)?
Concentration that results in immobility in 50% of patients when exposed to noxious stimulus (Surgical Incision)
The larger the MAC?
The more concentration needed to have an effect (NO)
The smaller the MAC?
The less concentration needed to have effect (Methoxyflurane)
Important factor influencing transfer of an inhaled anesthetic from the lungs to the arterial blood is its?
Solubility
Index of Solubility?
Affinity of an anesthetic for blood in comparison to air
Lower the solubility?
Faster the rate of rise of its tension in the blood and then in the Brain
Pressure is what allows drug to go from?
Lungs –> Blood –> Brain
We want low affinity to?
Blood, this will allow pressure to build up to go into Brain
PK of Inhalational Anesthetic: Factors affecting uptake?
-Solubility in Blood (Blood: Gas Partition Coefficient)
-Concentration of the Anesthetic Agent in the Inspired Gas
Increase in the inspired anesthetic concentration will?
Increase the rate of induction
Increase in pulmonary ventilation?
Speeds up the uptake of an anesthetic with higher blood:gas partition coefficient
More lipophilic = ?
Less drug needed to produce anesthesia
Meyer-Overton Hypothesis?
There is a direct correlation between lipid solubility and potency
Anesthetics work by influencing?
Synaptic Transmission (Ion-Gated), NOT axonal conduction (Voltage-Gated)
GABAa receptors (ion channels) are?
Prime target for most general anesthetics
GABAa channel activity is markedly?
Increased in the presence of clinically relevant concentrations of barbiturates, benzodiazepines, propofol, and enflurane
