other inhaled anesthetic either do not affect or in some cases lower ske
Inhaled anesthetics produce immobility via actions
A. on the brainstem
B. at the medulla
C. in the somatosensory
D. on the spinal cord
D. on the spinal cord
there is consensus that inhaled anesthetics produce anesthesia by ________ inhibitory channels and ____________ excitatory channels
A. enhancing; attenuating
B. stimulating; inhibiting
C.attenuating; enhancing

if it occurs through direct binding or membrane alterations is not know
The Minimum Alveolar Concentration (MAC) of an inhaled anesthetic is the alveolar (or end- expiratory) concentration at which________ of patients will not show a motor response to a standardized surgical incision
A.60%
B.75%
C.56%
D.50%
D. 50%
The standard deviation of MAC is ~10%, thus 95% of patients will respond to ____ MAC, and 99% will respond to _____MAC
A.1.3:1.7
B. 1.7: 1.3
C.1.2: 1.3
D.1.3: 1.2
C. 1.2:1.3
standard MAC values assume the absence of all other potentially sedative or hypnotic drugs
True/ false
MAC valuse are additive in terms of preventing movement to incision
true
0.5 MAC of nitrous oxide plus 0.5 MAC of isoflurane = 1.0 MAC of any other agent

Desflurane is an airway irritant and can _____ HR
A.increase
B.decrease
C. remain the same
D. change
A. increase
true or false
Des has very high solubility… meaning it is good for obese patients, absorbs quick, and goes away quick. VERY expensive. Needs a special heated vaporizer.
false
Des has very LOW solubility… meaning it is good for obese patients, absorbs quick, and goes away quick. VERY expensive. Needs a special heated vaporizer.
