OXID/RED TO MECH. OF ANESTHESIA Flashcards

1
Q

OXIDATION-REDUCTION PROCESS

A

AN ELECTRON DONOR (FROM NAD-COENZYME FORMED FROM NIACIN) AND MOLECULE O2 FOR ACTIVITY
THE O2 IS SPLIT WITH ONE ATOM OXIDIZING A MOLECULE OF DRUG AND THE OTHER INCORPORATED INTO H2O

LOSS OF ELECTRONS= OXIDATION

GAIN OF ELECTRONS= REDUCTION

Q

WHAT OCCURS UNDER CONDITIONS OF LOW ppO2?

A

ENZYMES TRANSFERS ELECTRONS TO A SUBSTRATE RATHER THAN TO OXYGEN (INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF O2 TO COMPETE FOR ELECTRON).
THIS CAN LEAD TO TOXIC BUILD UP

Q

ELIMINATION HALF “LIFE”

A

1ST HALF LIFE- 50% OF THE DRUG IS ELIMINATED FROM THE BODY
2ND HALF LIFE-50% OF THE REMAINING IS ELIMINATED; SO 75% IS TOTALLY REMOVED ALL TOGETHER
4TH HALF LIFE- 93.75% OF THE DRUG IS GONE
(4-5 HALF LIVES EQUAL TOTAL ELIMINATION)

Q

PHARMACOKINETCS OF INHALED ANESTHETICS INCLUDES…

A

ABSORPTION- UPTAKE FROM ALVEOLI TO CAPILLARY

DISTRIBUTION- SPREAD FROM CAPILLARY TO ORGAN

METABOLISM- MINIMAL HEPATIC VARIES BY AGENT

ELIMINATION- PRIMARILY BY LUNGS

37
Q

DEFINE UPTAKE.

A

EVENTUALLY THE PARTIAL PRESSURE OF THE GAS EQUILIBRATES BTW LUNGS, BLOOD, AND BRAIN

38
Q

PA MEANS

A

ALVEOLAR PARTIAL PRESSURE

39
Q

Pbr MEANS

A

BRAIN PARTIAL PRESSURE

40
Q

WHAT IS USED TO INFER DEPTH OF ANESTHESIA, RECOVERY FROM ANESTHESIA AND POTENCY COMPARISONS?

A

PA= ALVEOLAR PARTIAL PRESSURE ( AT EQUILIBRATION)

41
Q

WHAT EQUATION DETERMINES PA?

A

DELIVERY - UPTAKE

42
Q

WHAT IS DELIVERY AFFECTED BY?

A

INHALED PARTIAL PRESSURE (PI)
ALVEOLAR VENTILATION
BREATHING SYSTEM
FRC

43
Q

WHAT IS UPTAKE AFFECTED BY?

A

ANESTHESIA SOLUBILITY
CARDIAC OUTPUT
ALVEOLAR TO VENOUS PRESSURE GRADIENT

44
Q

IN REGARDS TO CONCENTRATION EFFECT, INTIAL ADMINISTRATION (INDUCTION) REQUIRES A ______ PI TO OFFSET THE UPTAKE. (HI OR LOW???)

A

HI

45
Q

IN REGARDS TO SECOND GAS EFFECT, WHAT DOES HIGH VOLUME UPTAKE OF 1 GAS DO TO THE PA OF ANOTHER GAS (N2O AND VOLATILE AGENT)?

A

ACCELERATES AN INCREASE

46
Q

AN INCREASE IN THE ALVEOLAR VENTILATION CAUSES THE RATE OF RISE OF PA TO DO WHAT?

A

INCREASE

> ALVEOLAR VENT= >RATE OF RISE OF PA

> ALVEOLAR VENT:FRC RATIO= >RATE OF RISE OF PA

47
Q

WHAT IS PA EFFECTED BY IN REGARDS TO DELIVERY?

A

VOLUME OF SYSTEMS, RUBBER COMPONENTS, GAS FLOW

48

IN RELATIONSHIP TO BLOOD THE GAS COEFFICIENT OF N2O CAN IS HOW MUCH GREATER THAN THAT OF NITROGEN?

A

34 TIMES

MEANS THAT N20 CAN MOVE FROM BLOOD TO A CLOSED SPACE 34X FASTER THAN N CAN LEAVE IT

49
Q

SOLUBILITY IS INDICATED BY???

A

AGENTS PARTITION COEFFICIENT

50
Q

PARTITION COEFFICIENT EQUATION

A

PARTITION COEFFICIENT= DISTRIBUTION RATIO BTW PHASES AT EQUILIBRIUM (=PARTIAL PRESSURES) I.E. BLOOD:GAS, BLOOD:BRAIN, OIL:GAS( LIPID SOLUBILITY)

51
Q

WHAT DOES BLOOD:GAS PARTITION COEFFICIENT OF 0.5 MEANS?

A

THAT CONCENTRATION OF AGENT (MOLECULES) IN BLOOD IS HALF THAT CONCENTRATION IN ALVEOLAR GAS WHEN PRESSURES ARE EQUAL

52
Q

WHAT IS SLOW INDUCTION PROCESS?

A

PULMONARY BLOOD FLOW CARRIES AWAY ANESTHETIC > CARDIAC OUTPUT > RAPID UPTAKE < RATE OF RISE OF PA

53
Q

DOES HIGHLY PERFUSED TISSUES EQUILIBRATE MORE RAPIDLY OR SLOWLY DURING UPTAKE?

A

RAPIDLY

54
Q

WHAT OCCURS TO ANESTHETIC WHEN THERE IS A CONTINUED UPTAKE AFTER VESSEL RICH GROUP SATURATION?

A

THE ANESTHETIC IS ENTERING THE SKELETAL MUSCLE

55
Q

RECOVERY IS A DECREASE OR INCREASE IN Pbr RATE?

A

DECREASE

56
Q

DURING THE RECOVERY STAGE WHAT HAPPEN TO THE RATE OF WASHOUT?

A

IT IS RAPID DUE TO LOW SOLUBILITY IN BRAIN AND HIGH PERCENT OF CO TO BRAIN

57
Q

WHY DOESN’T RECOVERY MIRROR INDUCTION?

A

B/C THERE IS NO 2ND GAS EFFECT AND Pa IN MUSCLE AND FAT WHICH NEVER EQUILIBRATED

58
Q

DIFFUSION HYPOXIA IS A RESULT OF? AND HOW DOES THIS OCCUR?

A

ABRUPT DISCONTINUATION OF N2O

PARTIAL PRESSURE GRADIENTS REVERSE SO THAT N2O LEAVES BLOOD AND ENTERS ALVEOLI RAPIDLY DILUTING PAo2 AND THEREFORE PaO2

ALSO DILUTES PACO2 THEREFORE < STIMULUS TO BREATHE AND FURTHER < PaO2
