Liver issue patient

A

Give Sevoflurane

26
Q

Anesthetic agents : NMB drugs

A

Neuromuscular blocking drugs

• Plasma cholinesterase synthesized by liver

27
Q

• Hepatic elimination depends on

A

protein binding, hepatic BF, drug extraction

28
Q

• 75% of administered NMB bound to

A

plasma proteins

29
Q

• Volume of distribution________(inc/dec) with liver disease →

A

increased with ; lower concentrations

30
Q

• Peds c/cholestatic liver disease such as ________have ____uptake –> ___Plasma clearance + _____effects

A

(biliary atresia) have ↓uptake → ↓plasma clearance +

prolongs effects

31
Q

The more to the brain

A

the more effect it will have

32
Q

Greater VOLUME OF DISTRIBUTION

A

Specific one for each drug

Specific one for each patient

33
Q

Greater Vd give ____and _____maintenance dose

A

Greater BOLUS

Less maintenance dose.

34
Q

Increase Vd

35
Q

Sedatives including (3) are lipid soluble

A

Midazolam
Propofol
Ketamine

36
Q

Issue with ketamine

A

Give with something else Like versed

They can have bad dream remember DISSOCIATION

37
Q

Ketamine metabolized via –>

A

via methylation → clearance minimally affected by liver

dysfunction

38
Q

Opioids Clearance

A

• Hepatic clearance and protein binding determines serum concentration of an opioid

39
Q

Opioids: Most oxidized in________except (where)

Damaged li

hypoalbuminemia,
hypoglycemia
AMS too

56
Q
