Q

Explain the “negative feedback” of inhaled induction with spontaneous ventilation

A

Inhaled anesthetic washes in, and depth of anesthesia increases
As patient gets deeper, breathing is reduced, and therefore uptake of agent is reduced
As agent is redistributed from brain and depth of anesthesia decreases, then ventilation increases again, and uptake is resumed

Q

Explain the “positive feedback” of inhaled induction with controlled ventilation?

Delivery of inhaled agent to the lungs continues which deepens anesthesia
Deeper anesthesia decreases cardiac output
