Q

Which opioid is naloxone not that effective in reversing?

A

Buprenorphine. Binds to the mu receptor with an affinity 50x greater than morphine. It’s also v slow to dissociate from the receptor. For these reasons, it is highly resistant to competitive antagonism by Narcan.

Q

Hepatic biotransformation of IAs

A

N20: 0.004%
Des: 0.02%
Iso: 0.2%
Sevo: 2-5%

Alphabetical order (D-I-S) and “rule of 2’s (.02, .2, 2)”

26
Q

How does soda lime contribute to the breakdown of halogenated anesthetics?

A

Sevo → compound A when exposed to soda lime, worse when dry

Des + iso → CO in presence of dry soda lime

Important to know that TFA and free fluoride ions are produced during biotransformation inside the body, while compound A and CO are produced following exposure to soda lime outside the body.

27
Q

Concentrating effect

A

When pt breathes room air, plain nitrogen is primary gas in alveolus, but n20 is 34x more soluble in blood than plain nitrogen.

When N20 introduced into lung, volume of N20 going from alveolus → pulmonary blood is much higher than amount of nitrogen moving from pulmonary blood → alveolus. This → the alveolus to shrink and the reduction in alveolar volume → ↑ FA.

The concentrating effect explains why N20 (not des) has the highest FA/FI curve even tho des is less soluble in blood. Simply put, the sheer volume of N20 movement more than compensates for the small difference in blood solubility.

28
Q

Augmented gas inflow effect

A

Concentrating effect temporarily reduces alveolar volume.

On subsequent breath, the concentrating effect → ↑ inflow of tracheal gas containing anesthetic to replace the lost alveolar volume, this ↑ alveolar volume and further hastens FA. Alveolar volume is restored quickly so this phenomenon is short lived.

29
Q

Diffusion hypoxia

A

Related to second gas effect

Gas containing areas of body can absorb up to 30L of N20 within 2 hrs, but most is eliminated within 5 mins when you turn nitrous off. As this huge volume of nitrous is transferred back into the alveoli, it dilutes alveolar 02 and C02, can cause a temporary diffusion hypoxia and hypercarbia.

Giving 100% Fi02 for 5 min when you kill the nitrous will stop this

30
Q

How is anesthetic gas onset affected by R → L shunting?

…what about IV agent onset?

A

Slows down FA/FI.

The FA/FI of an agent with lower solubility will be more affected, (think des). More soluble agents (like iso) experience more uptake from blood so that kinda offsets the R → L shunt dilution effect.
Less soluble agents like des undergo very little uptake by blood so the shunt’s dilutional effect is left unchecked.

Therefore…desflurane is affected the most, iso the least.

For IV, a R → L shunt produces faster onset (blood bypasses lungs and travels towards brain faster).
Also for IV, L → R shunt slows down IV induction (agent is recirculated in the lungs). L → R shunt has no real effect on FA/FI

31
Q

Examples of R → L shunts

A 
Tetralogy of Fallot
Foramen ovale
Eisenmergers 
Tricuspid atresia
Ebstein’s anomaly
32
Q

Ocular gas bubble placement and N20 D/C

A

DC N20 15 mins before SF6 placed, don’t use for 7-10 days after

Air bubble: avoid N20 5 days
Perfluoropropane: avoid N20 30 days
Silicone oil is fine

33
Q

VA action in spinal cord

A

In spinal cord, IAs produce immobility in the ventral horn. Sites:
→ glycine receptor stimulation
→ NMDA receptor inhibition
→ Na+ channel inhibition

GABA-A stimulation has nothing to do with immobility, since its only in the brain.

34
Q

Which inhalational agent theoretically does not affect HR at all?

A

Sevo

All others cause ↑

35
Q

Which agent theoretically ↓ BP the most?

A

Iso

36
Q

Effect of IAs on peripheral chemoreceptors

A

Peripheral chemoreceptors monitor for hypoxemia (respond to 02 rather than C02)

VAs impair periph chemoreceptors for up to several hrs after

Impaired response to HYPOXIA (not hypercarbia) occurs at 0.1MAC

37
Q

Which agent impairs hypoxic drive the least

A

Desflurane

Q

What does the dibucaine number actually reflect

A

Dibucaine is an amide LA that inhibits normal plasma cholinesterase, but doesn’t affect atypical PChE. The number is the percentage of normal enzyme that is inhibited by dibucaine, so higher is more normal, lower is more abnormal
