M21 Flashcards
What are the four stages of anesthesia
Stage 1 : analgesia
Stage 2: Disinhibition
Stage 3: surgical anesthesia
Stage 4: medullary depression
The patient has “decreased awareness of pain”, sometimes with amnesia. Consciously may be impaired but it is not lost.
Analgesia
The patient appears to be delirious and excited. Amnesia occurs, reflexes are enhanced, and respiration is typically irregular; reaching and incontinence may occur.
Stage 2: Disinhibition
The patient is unconscious and has no pain reflexes, respiration is very regular and the blood pressure is maintained
Stage 3: Surgical anesthesia
The patient develops severe respiratory and cardiovascular depression that requires mechanical and pharmacologic support
Stage 4: Medullary Depression
Does not produce its effect via facilitation of GABA a receptor functions, but possibly via its antagonism of the action of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamic acid on the N-methyl-daspartate ( NMDA ) receptor.
Ketamine
Two types of general anesthetics
Inhaled and Intravenous
What are the drugs under inhaled anesthesia
Gas ( nitrous oxide)
Volatile liquids ( halothane )
What are the drugs and their intravenous general anesthesia
Barbiturates ( Thiopental )
Dissociative ( ketamine )
Miscellaneous ( etomidate , PROPOFOL )
Opioids ( fentanyl )
Benzodiazepine ( midazolam )
What are the drugs that is under inhaled anesthetics
Desflurane
Enflurane
Halothane
Isoflurane
Sevoflurane
Nitrous oxide
Possible Mechanism
Facilitate GABA-mediated inhibition
•block brain NMDA and ACh-N receptors
Inhaled Anesthetics
Pharmacokinetics:
Rate of onset and recovery vary by blood: gas partition coefficient
•recovery mainly due to redistribution from brain to other tissues
Inhaled anesthetics
Toxicity: extensions of effects on brain, heart / vasculature, lungs
Inhaled anesthetics
Possible Mechanism:
Facilitate GABA-mediated inhibition at GABA A receptor.
Barbiturates, benzodiazepines, etomidate, and propofol
Pharmacokinetics:
High lipid solubility fast onset and short duration due to redistribution
Barbiturates
•Tiopental
•thioamylal
•methohexital
