Non-Barb Induction Flashcards
What is the structure of propofol?
2,6-di-iso-propophenol
Oil at room temp, insoluble in aqueous solution, very lipid soluble
How is propofol supplied? What food allergy do you worry about?
1.2% egg (worry about egg yolk allergy)
10% soybean oil
2.25% glycerol base solution
*This supports bacterial growth
What is in the preservative of diprivan?
Disodium edetate (EDTA)
The generic propofol is prepared in sodium metabisulfite, what is the caution with using this?
Caution/avoid in asthmatics because this preparation leads to bronchospasm
How does ampofol formulation differ from diprovan/propofol preparation?
Low lipid formula: 5% soy, 0.6% egg lecithin
No preservative needed
More pain with injection
What is the reason aquavan (fospropofol) isn’t used often?
Fospropofol is the prodrug of propofol, once it gets to the plasma, it hydrolyzes to propofol. It effects people differently and is therefore very unpredictable, has slower onset, higher VD, and higher potency
Propofol MOA
Decrease rate of dissociation of GABA from GABA-A receptor which increases chloride conductance, hyperpolarizing/inhibiting the postsynaptic cell membrane
Does propofol depress the spinal cord?
NO
Propofol pharmacokinetics: E1/2t? VD?
LARGE VD
E1/2t 0.5-1.5h
Propofol- CNS effects
Dec CBF, ICP, CMRO2, CPP, IOP
Myoclonus/muscle twitching, hallucinations
Cerebral protection through antioxidant effects that resemble vitamin E effects
Also, antiemetic and antipruritic effect at low doses
Propofol- respiratory effects
Induction dose causes apnea Dec TV, RR Dec response to CO2 and hypoxia PCO2 rises, pH decreases Bronchodilation (unless it uses that preservative- sodium metabisulfide) Hypoxic vasoconstriction intact
Propofol- CV effects
HUGE decrease in BP (25-40%)
Myocardial depression, vasodilation
Dec SV, CO, SVR
HR unchanged
Does propofol potentiate muscle relaxants?
Nope
Propofol induction dose? Adult vs. toddler
GA maintenance dose?
Sedation infusion dose?
Induction 1-2.5 mg/kg, up to 3 in toddlers
Kids higher dose bc they have a larger central distribution and higher clearance rate
Elderly need lower dose due to smaller central distribution and lower clearance rate
GA 100-300 mcg/kg/min
Sedation 25-100 mcg/kg/min
How is propofol metabolized?
Conjugated in liver to glucuronide and sulfate by CP450 to water soluble compounds, renal excretion, first pass effect
Liver function doesn’t effect rate of metabolism, safe for liver and renal patients!
Mostly inactive metabolites
Which of these are chiral compounds: Thiopental, etomidate, ketamine, propofol
All EXCEPT for propofol
Etomidate is what drug class?
Carboxylated Imidazole derivative
Imidazole= C3H4N2
What solvent is etomidate prepared in?
Propylene glycol solvent (anti-freeze)
What is the pH and solubility of etomidate like in solution? In the body?
In solution: pH 6.9, water soluble
In body: pH 8.2 (weak base), lipid soluble
