ASA risk Index 1
unstable coronary syndromes
ASA risk index 2
decompensated HF, new HF, class IV HF
ASA risk index 3

Pre-anesthetic meds
Benzodiazepines, Barbituates, anithistamines, phenothiazine, butyrophenes
IV anesthetics
barbituates, etomidate, opioids, ketamine, propofol
Benzodiazepines actions
reduce anxiety, “calming” effects
BZD agents
Diazepam, Lorazepam, midazolam
Barbituates actions
sedation and reduce apprehension
Barbituate agents
phenobarbital, thiopental
Barbituate ADR
cardiac and respiratory depression
Etomidate actions
potent ultra-short acting hypnotic without analgesic properties. Conscious sedation or rapid sequence induction for cardioversion
Etomidate pearl
must follow with analgesic and muscle relaxant drugs
Etomidate dose
IV 0.3 mg/kg–>sleep for 5 mins
Etomidate ADR
hypotension, carbon dioxide retention, suppresses corticosteroid synthesis at adrenal cortex
Opioid action
inhibit nociceptive reflexes and induce analgesia through action at mu receptors. Inhibit release of neurotransmitters
Opioid ADR
respiratory depression, NV, constipation
Ketamine actions
dissociative anesthesia
Ketamine ADR
hallucinations, bad dreams, increased muscle tone
Propofol
Oil emulsion at room temperature, rapid onset and effective for induction and maintenance
Propofol ADR
apnea, hypotension, injection site pain
inhaled anesthetics
nitrous oxide, sevoflurane, Isoflurane, desflurane
inhaled anesthetics actions
used for induction and/or as adjuvant
inhaled anesthetic ADR
NV, malignant hyperthermia, caution with renal/hepatic dysfunction
Local anesthetics actions
inhibit sodium channels, used for infiltration or nerve block
Amino amides
lidocaine, bupivicaine, Prilocaine, Dibucaine
Amino esters
Benzocaine, cocaine, procaine, tetracaine
purpose of epinephrine
allows for lower doses that last longer
Amino amides/esters ADR
increased plasma concentrations, CNS effects, cardiac effects, respiratory arrest, burning sensation, skin discoloration, tissue necrosis, neuritis
Regional anesthesia
epidural and spinal
Risk factors for increase peri-op pain
post-op pain, anxiety, genetics, opioid tolerance, female gender
NSAIDs and COX inhibitor actions
reduce opioid requirements by reducing inflammatory response
NSAIDs
ketorolac, ibuprofen, naproxen
COX 2 inhibitors
celecoxib
Risk Factors for PONV
female, motion sickness, non-smoking status, post-op opioids, inhaled anesthetics, high dose neostigmine
Dexmedetomaine
used for sedation in ICU or brief procedures
PONV tx options
serotonin agonists (ondansetron), neurokinin inhibitors, steroids (dextramethasone), anithistamines (dimenhydrinate), butyrophenones (Droperidol), BZD
