Q

Ketamin

Structure/Composition

A

Phencyclidine Derivative (PCP)
“angel dust”

Preservative: Benzethonium Chloride, inhibits nicotinic ACH receptors which causes SNS stimulation → CV consequences

S (+) Ketamine: More analgesia than R isomer (2x greater than racemic and 4x greater than R (-), ↑ metabolism and recovery, less salivation, Lower incidence of emergence delirium
R (-) Ketamine: Inhibits uptake of catecholamines into the postganglionic nerve endings (cocaine like effect), Less fatigue, Less cog impairment

Q

Redistribution Barbs

A

Rapid redistribution from brain to other tissues

‣in shock (↓perfusion)
‣ elderly & women ( ↓ muscle mass)
‣ Drug stored in fat, so redosing and large dosing can have cumulative effects

‣ Can decrease seizure duration (once pt already has seizure) 35-45% in ECT pts compared to etomidate

55
Q

CNS Propofol

A

↓CMRO2, CBF and ICP
‣Auto-regulatory r/t CBF and PaCO2 maintained
‣ EEG changes similar to thiopental
‣ No SSEP suppression unless nitrous or volatiles added
‣ Causes excitatory movements on induction, does produce myoclonus movements.

56
Q

CNS Etomidate

A

‣ ↑ incidence of myoclonus (50-80%) Greater than all others
‣ alteration in balance of
inhibitory and excitatory
influences of thalamocortical
tract
‣ give benzo or opiod to inhibit
myclonus (FENT 1-2 mcg/kg
IV)

A

‣ ↑ ICP
‣ Potent vasodilator, ↑ CBF by 60%
‣ Ceiling effect at 0.5-2 mg/kg IV for ↑ ICP
‣ excitatory activity on EEG
‣ DOES NOT ALTER SEIZURE THRESHOLD
‣ Myoclonus
‣ ↑plitude on SSEP, nitrous reduces this

58
Q

Induction CNS summary

A

Analgesia most to least: Ketamine, propofol, then barbs and etomidate has none

Caution in seizure patients with etomidate and methohexital

MYOCLONUS INCIDENCE:

59
Q

CV Barbs

A

‣ Lack of baroreceptor response esp. in hypovolemia, CHF, Beta blockade
‣ Histamine release causes BP drop

60
Q

CV Sodium Pentothal
(thiopental/ pentothal)

A

Normovolemia, 5 mg/kg infusion of thiopental:
‣ ↓ 10 - 20 SBP
‣ ↑ 15-20 HR
‣Previous exposure to thiopetnal can induce anaphylactoid response

61
Q

CV Propofol

A

‣ ↓ BP (more than thiopental) d/t inhbition of SNS smooth muscle relaxation, ↓ intracellular Ca+
‣ ↓BP exaggerated in hypovolemia, elderly, LV compromise
‣ Laryngoscopy stimulus can ↑ BP
‣↓ HR d/t ↓ SNS , ↓ baroreceptor reflex
‣ Profound brady and asystole even in healthy patients!!!

62
Q

CV Etomidate

A

CARDIOPROTECTIVE AGENT
‣ Good for patients with low EF
‣Minimal changes in HR, SV, CO, Contractility
‣ SUDDEN HYPOTENSION w/ HYPOVOLEMIA w/ high 0.45 mg/kg IV induction dose
‣ ❌ histamine or intra-arterial damage

63
Q

CV Ketamine

A

‣THINK SNS EFFECTS!
‣ ↑SBP, PAP, CO, MRO2
‣↑ plasma NE and Epi levels
‣ inhibit these effects by admin of
BENZO, volatiles, N20
‣ Can cause sudden ↓BP d/t depletion of catecholamine stores. Direct myocardial suppressant
‣ ephedrine won’t work bcuz indirect action

64
Q

CV Induction Summary

A

Etomidate good for heart cases

Propofol and barbs both cause loss of baroreceptor reflex

propofol has most dramatic low BP effect

Etomidate can cause adrenal suppression s/t inability to convert cholesterol into cortisol will reduce ability to use BP meds unless you give stess dose.

Then Ketamine will cause increased circulation of epi and norepi, but eventually will run out of catecholamine stores

65
Q

Resp Barbs

A

‣ Dose dependent depression of ventilatory centers (medullary and pontine)
‣ Less sensitive to CO2 (may need CO2 increased to initiate spontaneous respiration)
‣ Return to spontaneous ventilation → slow frequency, decreased Vt.

66
Q

Resp Propofol

A

‣ Dose Dependent apnea
‣Synergistic with opioids!! = ↑ resp depression
‣ Maintain hypoxic pulm vasoconstriction response.. V/Q mismatch
‣ Painful surgicial stimulation inhibits ventilatory depression
‣Bronchodilator effects = GOOD

67
Q

Resp Etomidate

A

‣ Ventilation depression < barbs
‣ Rapid IV injection = apnea
‣ Vt decreases are offset by compensatory ↑ in Resp rate (transient 3-5 min)
‣ Stimulates CO2 medullary centers

68
Q

Resp Ketamine

A

‣ ↑ pulm artery pressure up to 44 mmHG
‣ no depression of ventilation
‣PaCO2 ventilation response maintained
‣ upper airway reflexes and tone maintained = ↑ of laryngospasms
‣ ↑ salivation and tracheobrochial mucous secretions
‣ ↑ bronchodilation (no histamine release)

69
Q

A

KIDNEYS: causes transient ↓ RBF and GFR
INTRA ARTERIAL INJECTION:
‣immediate intense vasoconstriction,
‣causes pain along length of artery,
‣obscure distal pulses,
‣ blanching of extremity then cyanosis
