Peds Pharm Flashcards
Vd of water soluble drugs
High dt high TBW
Ie succinylcholine, antibiotics, bupivacaine
Vd of fat soluble drugs
Low ; increased ruation of action b/c less tissue mass
Ie fentanyl, thiopental
Protein binding
Altered and lowered
increases free fraction of medications
50th percentile formula
Age x 2 … + 9
< 1 year old = mo/2 + 4
Neonatal total water content
70-75%
What contributes to a high ECF Vd
High TBW
low fat %
Reduced lean muscle mass
Vd water soluble drugs admin
Higher initial dose
Delayed excretion
At what age does the BBB improve
age 2
protein binding
reduced total protein resulting in more of the administered drug to be free in the plasma
lidocaine, alfentanil
dosing for barbiturates and LA
reduced dosing
renal function (3)
incomplete glomerular development
low perfusion presesure
inadequate osmotic load
aminoglycosides + cephalosporins
prolonged elimination 1/2 life in neonates
inhalational agents
more rapid induction
more rapid excretion
more rapid overdose occurrence
determinates of wash-in of inhalations
- inhaled concentration
- FRC
- CO
- alveolar ventilation
- solubility
- alveolar to venous partial pressure gradient
wash in is inversely related to
blood solubility
peds population and respiratory characteristics (3)
- increased RR
- increased blood flow to vessel rich groups
- decreased FRC
other explanations for rapid inhalational induction
- cerebral maturation
- age related differences in blood-gas coefficients
- state of hydration/dehydration
- type of anesthesia circuit
- vaporizer design
why is BP sensitive to volatiles?
lack of compensation
immature myocardium
reduced calcium stores
Sevoflurane MAC values
neonate: 3.2
infant: 3.2
children: 2.5
isoflurane MAC values
neonate: 1.6
infant: 1.8
small child: 1.4
desflurane MAC values
neonate: 9.2
infants: 10
small children: 8.2
stage I
induction of GA to LOC
‘stage of analgesia’
stage II
‘stage of excitement
LOC to the onset of automatic breathing
no eyelash reflex
stage III
‘state of surgical anesthesia’
onset of automatic respiration to respiratory paralysis
stage III plane I
automatic respiration to the cessation of eyeball movements
- eyelid reflex lost
- swallowing reflex disappears
- lots of eyeball movement
- corneal reflex lost @ end
stage III plane II
cessation of eyeball movements to the beginning of IC muscle paralysis
-laryngeal reflex lost
stage III plane III
from beginning to complete IC paralysis
- diaphragmatic respiration persists
- pupils dilated
- no light reflex
stage III plane IV
complete IC paralysis to diaphragmatic paralysis
stage IV
anesthetic overdose causing medullary paralysis and vasomotor collapse
nitrous
analgesia + amnesia b/g: 0.47 MAC: 104% ADR: PONV c/i: pneumo/NEC/bowel obstructions
dalton’s law of partial pressure
PT = P1 + P2 + P3
sevoflurane
least irritating to the airways
b/g: 0.68
what contributes to compound A
high temperature
low FGF
CO2 absorbers w/barium hydroxide or soda lime
isoflurane
b/g: 1.43
potentiates NDMR to a greater extent than sevo/des
least costly !!
good for neuro cases/sz risk
