NCE part 1 Flashcards
which two volatile anesthetics decrease SVR the most
Isoflurane and Desflurane
Isoflurane causes hypothermia …why
because it suppresses the hypothalamic temperature regulators
which agents are volatile
Sevoflurane Desflurane Isoflurane Enflurance Halothane
how do volatile anesthetics affect cerebral vessels and cerebral blood flow.
Dilate cerebral vessels
Increase cerebral blood flow
Increase cerebral blood flow and ICP
Decreases neuronal function and cerebral metabolism
which three gases similarly depress cerebral metabolic rate
Iso, Des, Sevo
how do we negate the increase ICP with Isoflurance (remember its the least to dangerously increase ICP)
hyperventilate
Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction is inhibited at what MAC
HPV is inhibited by a high concentration of volatile (1-1.5 or higher MAC)
What volatile is considered completely halogenated with fluorine?
Des is considered to be completely halogenated with fluorine
what volatile has fluorine substituting halogen
sevoflurance
which two volatile most depress ventilation
Des, Enflurane
which volatile depress ventilation the least
Halothane
what volatile agent Most depress the baroreceptor reflex
Halothane and Sevo: No increase in HR even with decreases in blood pressure
Baroreceptor: “DISH” least to greatest
- S/H no increase in HR w/low BP
- D/I increase in HR w/low BP
what volatile agent Least depress the baroreceptor reflex
Iso and Des: HR increases as a reflex to decrease in blood pressure
Baroreceptor: “DISH” least to greatest
- S/H no increase in HR w/low BP
- D/I increase in HR w/low BP
Acute ETOH intoxication effect on MAC
Decreases

What receptors do spinal opioids work
Primarily Mu-2 but work on mu-1, kappa, and delta to produce supraspinal analgesia
Stimulation of mu-1 receptors what responses:
Spinal and supraspinal analagesia Euphoria Miosis Bradycardia Hypothermia Urinary retention pruritus
Mu-1 have a high or low abuse potential
?
Low abuse potential
Opioid can cause nausea and vomiting by
Stimulation of CTZ of the fourth ventricle (floor). The triggered CTZ activates vomiting center near the brain stem
