16
Q

Define Minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration (MAC)

A

The alveolar concentration of an inhaled anesthetic that is required to prevent a response to a standardized painful stimulus in 50% of patients

17
Q

Define analgesia

A

state of decreased awareness of pain

sometimes with amnesia

18
Q

Define general anesthesia

A

state of unconsciousness, analgesia, and amnesia with skeletal muscle relaxation and loss of reflexes

19
Q

List the 4 stages of Anesthesia

A
  1. Analgesia: Decreased awareness
  2. Disinhibition: Delirious, excited; Amnesia; irregular respiration; incontinence
  3. Surgical Anesthesia: Unconscious, no pain; regular reparation and BP
  4. Medullary Depression: Severe respiratory & CV depression; mechanical and pharm support
20
Q

List the 5 Primary Effects produced by general anesthesia

A
  1. Unconsciousness
  2. Amnesia
  3. Analgesia
  4. Inhibition of autonomic reflexes
  5. Skeletal muscle relaxation

  2. Sevoflurane
  3. Isoflurane
  4. Methoxyflurane
22
Q

inhaled anesthetic MOA

A
  1. Facilitate GABA-mediated inhibition

2. Block brain NMDA and ACh-N receptors

23
Q

Effects of inhaled anesthetic

A

Increase cerebral blood flow, vasodilation

Decrease respiratory function

24
Q

What are potential SE’s of Nitric Oxide?

A
