pharm 3 Flashcards
how many halogens does each of the volatiles have
halothane- 3 florine 1 bromine
iso- 5 florine 1 chlorine
des- 6 florine
sevo - 7 fluorine (sevo seven)
what does adding fluoride do
decrease potency, increase vapor pressure, increase resistance to biotransformation
why is sevo an exception to the adding fluoride rule
sevo is heavily fluorinated but 3x as potent as des- likely due to bulky propyl side chain
what is vapor pressure
pressure exerted by vapor in equilibrium with its liquid or solid phase inside of a closed container
vapor pressure is directly proportional to
temperature
increased temp= increased VP
explain how altitude changes affect gas delivered
as atm pressure decreases at higher elevations- partial pressure of gas decreases (which is what determines depth of anesthesia)
conventional variable bypass vaporizer automatically compensates for the elevation change
des is when you are worried about underdosing- tec 6 vaporizer does not compensate for elevation!
vapor pressure of sevo
157
vapor pressure of des
669
vapor pressure of iso
238
vapor pressure of n2o
38,770
what inhaled agents are stable in soda lime
only n2o
sevo-> compound a (can happen in dessicated or functional soda lime)
des and iso-> carbon monozide
what is solubility
tendency of a solute to dissolve into a solvent
blood: gas partition coefficient
relative solubility of an inhalation anesthetic in the blood vs in the alveolar gas (wgen the partial pressures between the 2 compartments are =)
blood gas solubility of sevo
0.65
blood gas solubility of des
0.42
blood gas solubility of iso
1.45
blood gas solubility of n2o
0.46
what is Fi
turn vaporizer on- concentration gradient pushing anesthetic agent from vaporizer towards alveoli
what is FA
ventilator washes anesthetic agent into alveoli
what is uptake
build up of anesthetic partial pressure inside the alveoli is opposed by continious uptake of the agent into the blood
what is distribution
CO distributes anesthetic agent throughout the bodu
FA/ Fi curve allows us to predict what
speed of induction
what does low solubility mean for speed of induction
low solubility-> less uptake into blood-> increased rate of rise-> faster equilibriation of Fa/ fi-> faster onset
what does high solubility mean for induction
high solubility-> more uptake into blood-> decreased rate of rise-> slower equilibriation of fa/fi-> slower onset
what factors affect agent delivery to and removal from alveoli
- setting on vaporizer, time constant of delivery system, anatomic dead space, alveolar ventilation, frc
-solubility of anesthetic in the blood, CO, partial pressure gradient between the alveolar gas and mixed venous blood
what conditions increase FA/FI. what decreases it?
for FA/Fi to increase, there needs to be a greater wash in and/or reduced uptake
for it to decrease- there needs to be reduced wash in and/ or increased uptake
anesthetic agents and CO
directly proportional!!
a high CO removes mroe anesthetic agent from the alveoli and slows the rate of rise of fa/fi (slows anesthetic induction)
so if you are comparing 2 patients the one with the lower CO will have the faster onset of agent
