Q

You decided to pick up an ICU BEDSIDE contract during your online semester of CRNA school & asked to give an IV Ketamine bolus to your wild’n’out patient. 🤪

1) Your doc orders a measly 0.1mg/kg and you look at him with disgust & bluntly tell him the normal range for Ketamine is ___ - ___ here in the ICU.

2) Your patient rips out her IV seconds before you can administer the IV dose.
Looks like she is getting it IM…what is your dose range?

A

IV: 0.2 - 0.5 mg/kg
*This is the same amount of our IV maintenance dose.

IM: 4 - 8mg/kg

Q

Do you need to give analgesia if you give etomidate to the patient?

A

Yes, Etomidate does not have an analgesic effect.
(Acc. to Dr. Castillo, remember you have to use analgesic when you perform direct laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation because they need to be in stage 3.)

Epidural: **30mg** (one time dose) IT: 5 - 50mg in 1ml NS (I am checking with Castillo bc the book contradicts this stating it should be in 3 mls) pg. 343, PDF Stoeltings Pharm book Slide 27
30
How long does inhibition of enzyme required to convert cholesterol to cortisol lasts following the administration of etomidate?
4 to 8 hours (Make sure you look at graph on slide 14) Slide 13
31
Why is Ketamine called "angel dust"?
Because it is a Phencyclidine derivative. 🍦 (Slide 20)
32
Will we see an increase or decrease in the amount of salivary and tracheobronchial mucous gland secretions with Ketamine?
Increase! (so it is important to give something to subdue or decrease the amount of secretions- Dr. C said "Glycopyrrolate" (slide 35)
33
T/F: Ketamine has amnestic and intense analgesic properties.
True (Slide 20)
34
Does Ketamine induce histamine release? What does it do to the Bronchioles?
No histamine release and it is a GREAT Bronchodilator (slide 35)
35
Referring to Ketamine, what is meant by dissociative anesthesia?
It resembles a cataleptic state (a trancelike state marked by loss of voluntary motion in which the limbs remain in whatever position they are placed) in which the eyes remain open with a slow nystagmic gaze (an involuntary eye movement which may cause the eye to rapidly move from side to side, up and down, or in a circle, and may slightly blur vision.) "It is like talking to a sloth, or in slow motion. The eyes are open but when you know no one is home. They are in their own little world; it disconnects them from reality." (Slide 20)
36
Is Ketamine good to use in a smoker or patients with COPD/asthma?
Yes! It is a great bronchodilator and does not release histamine (slide 35)
37
What is an antisialagogue? Why would we give one with Ketamine? How many syllables does it have? What is the example med and dose Castillo gave us in lecture?
Antisialagogues are anticholinergic drugs. (Scopolamine, atropine, etc.) https://youtu.be/UnOfb3E812g Lolz, I think it has 5. **Glycopyrrolate, 0.2mg** > atropine/scopalamine Slide 28 pg. 342 PDF Stoletings Pharm book
38
You give your patient Ketamine, what are some signs and symptoms that they are experiencing dissociative amnesia?
They are non-communicative, or they do not answer questions appropriately, but wakefulness is present. Hypertonus, muscle overactivity that occurs when communication between the brain and spinal cord is affected by injury or illness. Purposeful skeletal muscle movements. (Soft restraints might be needed sometimes)
39
What is a major side-effect we worry about with Ketamine? What causes this?
Emergence Delirium Due to its Psychedelic Effects (slide 36)
40
What are some advantages Ketamine has over Propofol and Etomidate?
1. Lipid emulsion vehicle is not required which means there is no pain @ injection site. 2. Profound analgesia at sub-anesthetic doses (0.25-0.35 mcg/Kg -Castillo) 3. Can be used for withdrawals (Slide 21)
41
The "Psychedelic Effects" seen with the admin of Ketamine affects what percentage of patients? And how long can these effects last up to?
5-30% of patients Last up to 24 hours (slide 36)
42
When would you expect your patient to return to consciousness after giving a bolus of IV Ketamine? Full consciousness?
You got 10 - 20 mins to party while they out. 🕺🏻💃🏾 Full consciousness 60-90mins (they have amnesia during this time) Slide 28
43
What are the s/sx of the "Psychedelic Effects" seen with the admin of Ketamine?
visual, auditory, proprioceptive, and confusional illusions = delirium. Morbid & vivid dreams (in color) and hallucinations (slide 36)
44
What are two disadvantages of using Ketamine?
1. Frequency of emergence delirium 2. Abuse potential (Slide 21)
45
What is the MOA of the Psychedelic Effects seen with Ketamine?
due to the depression of the inferior colliculus and medial geniculate nucleus that is responsible for separating fantasy from reality. (slide 36)
46
5mls total! You add 4mls...to the 1ml.
47
Ketamine uses the preservative Benzethonium Chloride. What is the effect of this preservative in the human body?
it causes inhibition of the nicotinic ACh receptors! It causes sympathetic nervous system stimulation! Not a stable idea CV wise… ☠️ (Slide 21)
48
Is S-Ketamine (+) or R-Ketamine (-) preferred? Why?
S-Ketamine the left handed optical isomer is preferred over R-Ketamine the right handed optical isomer because: 1. It has more intense analgesia - 2x greater than racemic - 4x greater than R-Ketamine 2. More rapid metabolism and recovery 3. Lower incidence of emergence reactions 4. Less salivation 👅💦 (Slide 23)
49
To prevent the Psychedelic Effects seen with Ketamine Administration, what do we do/give?
Admin Benzodiazepine IV 5 min prior to Ketamine admin. (slide 36)
50
What 2 Medications do we always give prior to giving Ketamine?
Benzodiazepine (to prevent psychedelic effects Glycopyrrolate (to decrease secretions) (slide 36)
51
What are 4 things to consider when using racemic Ketamine?
1. Inhibit uptake of catecholamines back into the postganglionic sympathetic nerve endings -Cocaine-like effect -Avoid in patients with: CAD, A-fib, SVT, Hx of V-fib, or ST/NST MI. 2. Less fatigue 3. Less cognitive impairment 4. Part of the multimodal technique (Slide 23)
52
What receptors does Ketamine bind to?
It binds non-competitively to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. (Slide 24)
53
What is glutamate?
It is the most excitatory neurotransmitter in the CNS! Glycine is an obligated co-agonist! (Slide 24)
54
Ketamine _______ activation of the NMDA receptors by glutamate and _______ the presynaptic release of glutamate.
Inhibits, decreases (slide 24)
55
Does Ketamine have a strong or weak action on the GABA-A receptor?
Weak! (Slide 24)
56
What other receptor sites, besides NMDA, does Ketamine work on?!
Opioid (µ, δ, and κ; weak σ) monoaminergic, voltage-sensitive sodium, L-type Ca++ channels, muscarinic & neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine. *Think about what else Ketamine does... (Slide 24)
57
What 3 things does Ketamine inhibit? And what are the results from these inhibitions with consideration to our muscle relaxants?
- Inhibits platelet aggregation (results in increased bleeding) - Inhibits cytosolic free calcium concentrations (results in enhanced non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs (NMBDs) - Inhibits **plasma cholinesterase** (results in increase of Succinylcholine which will prolong paralyzation and apnea) (slide 37)
58
Can you administer Ketamine in patients with asthma and pulmonary hypertension?
(Trick question) Yes for asthma- great bronchodilator but NO for Pulmonary Hypertension (pg. 344)
59
What are 3 drug that react with Ketamine? And what are the interactions?
- Volatile anesthetics- causes hypotension - NDNMB drugs "ronium"- enhances these drugs effects - Succinylcholine- prolongs its effects. (slide 38)
60
_________ is a potent direct cerebral _______________, as it _________ ICP. HINT: Similar to Thiopental
Etomidate; vasoconstrictor; decreases (slide 15)
61
Etomidate decreases CBF to __% and CMRO2 to __%. CMRO2 (Cerebral Metabolic Rate of Oxygen) can also be referred to as CMRG which stands for?
35%; 45% Cerebral Metabolic Rate of Glucose (slide 15)
62
_________ produces similar EEG changes as Thiopental, except more frequent __________ spikes. This med also ______ seizure threshold so that means seizure foci may be __________. This med may augment amplitude of _____________ ______ _________ monitoring, therefore this drug is not ideal with this type of monitoring. What med would be a better alternative?
Etomidate; excitatory lower; activated Somatosensory Evoked Potential (SSEP) Propofol is a better alternative for this type of monitoring (slide 15)
63
Etomidate is the most _____ stable induction agent with minimal changes to which factors? (This means Etomidate is ideal for pts with an EF of < 40-50%.) However, we could still see a mild ⬇️ to ____ with normovolema.. We would see sudden hypotension w/ _________, especially at what induction dose?
cardiovascular; HR, SV, CO, and contractility SVR hypovolemia; We see this at an induction dose of 0.45 mg/kg IV (higher than normal) (slide 16)
64
True or False: Etomidate causes intra-arterial damage. Etomidate causes vein irritation and/or pain upon injection. Etomidate does NOT release histamine
FALSE - Etomidate does NOT cause intra-arterial damage TRUE - per Castillo TRUE - no histamine release (slide 16)
65
Which induction med causes LESS ventilation depressant than barbiturates? Why is this? Just remember though, RAPID IV injection will still cause a little _____. So start LOW and give SLOW
Etomidate because it has RAPID clearance (think Etomidate as the speed dating induction med - exciting at first but that excitement rapidly wears off) APNEA (Jerry from speed dating took your breath away...until he said he still lived with his mom) (slide 17)
66
What is the Minute Ventilation formula? Etomidate causes our _____ ______ to ⬇️ which is then offset by compensatory _________ in frequency of ___________ ____. (Transient 3-5 mins) This reflex is all d/t the stimulation of CO2 _________ _______. (might not start breathing until EtCO2 hits 50 mmHg)
Minute Ventilation formula = Vt x RR tidal volume (Vt); ⬆️ ; respiratory rate (RR) medullary centers (slide 17)
67
What lesson was Dr. Castillo teaching us when comparing Brevital and Pentothal?
That there are other factors in play other than lipid solubility. Brevital has a lower lipid solubility than Pentothal but it is more non-ionized than Pentothal. Anesthesia can have grey areas. Slide 5
