Megan's Guide Flashcards
parenteral routes of drugs
IV, IM, SC,etc
volatile anesthetics: cerebral blood flow
increase vasodilation, decrease vasc resistance, increase CBF, increase ICP
opioids: metabolism
Fent, Remi, Morphine, Meperidine
fentanyl 75% lungs
remi: plasma/tissue
morphine: gluc acid hepatic/renal
meperidine 90% hepatic
midazolam: first pass metabolism
50% first pass
local anesthetics: target channels
Na channels
volatile anesthetics: coronary blood flow
iso is a potent coronary vasodilator
desflurane and CO2 absorber
carbon monoxide, from dry dessicated absorber
bupivicaine toxicity
A lower dose of bupivicaine than lidocaine will produce Cardiovascular collapse
Pregnant patients may be more sensitive
Cardiac resuscitation is more difficult after bupivacaine Cardiotoxicity potentiated by acidosis and hypoxia
uptake and distribution: alveolar PP
uptake = solubility x CO x (PA-PV)
opioids: side effects
pruritis, N/V, urinary retention, vent despression
local anesthetics: metabolism
amides: liver CYP450
esters: cholinesterase enzymes
opioids:best for neurological assessment post-op
remifentanyl
desflurane and heart rate
increased due to SNS stimulation
local anesthetics: nodes of ranvier
2-3 blocked will stop the action potential
compound A formation
sevo interation with CO2 absorbers, higher levels seen in Baralym vs soda lime, nephrotixin in rates, use flows higher than 2
EMLA components
5% lidocaine, 5% prilocaine
Induction drugs: hiccups
methohexital (brevitol), etomidate
benzodiazepine-ion channel effect
hyperpolarization
induction drugs: cortisol secretion
etomidate
inhaled agents: bone marrow suppression
nitrous oxide
Induction drugs: propofol method of action
decrease GABA dissociation
opioids: histamine release
morphine, meperidine
opioids: potency
MMHAFRS
opioids: remi metabolism
plasma cholinesterase
