Q

Symptoms of propofol infusion syndrome?

A

metabolic acidosis, hypertriglyceridemia, hypotension, rhabdo, acute renal failure, hepatomegaly

22
Q

risk factors for propofol infusion syndrome

A

dose >4 mg/kg/hr, infusion >48 hours, pressors, steroids, low glycogen stores, mitochondrial disorders, neuro compromise

23
Q

Effects of propofol on organ systems

A

CV- tachycardia on induction, negative inotrope respiratory- apnea, depress normal response to hypercarbia, lower incidence of wheezing Cerebral- decreased CBF and ICP

24
Q

CNS effect that may occur with induction by propofol?

A

excitatory phenomena- muscle twitching, spontaneous movement, opisthotonus, hiccupping

25
Q

Mechanism of action for etomidate

A

depresses RAS and mimics GABA

26
Q

Potential consequence of using etomidate?

A

adrenal corticoid suppression with long term infusions

27
Q

What is common with induction by etomidate?

A

myoclonus

28
Q

Will a standard induction dose of etomidate fully inhibit ventilation?

A

no

29
Q

Effects of etomidate on organ systems

A

CV- minimal effects (good for HD unstable patients) Respiratory- may induce apnea when used with opioids cerebral- decreased CMR, CBF, ICP

30
Q

Relationship of fentanyl with etomidate

A

fentanyl inreases plasma levels and prolongs elimination half life but decreases myoclonus

31
Q

MoA of barbiturates

A

depress RAS, enhance GABA, suppress Ach

32
Q

Duration of action of most induction drugs is determined by?

A

redistribution, not metabolism/elimination

33
Q

Effects of barbiturates on organ systems

A

CV- increased HR, decreased BP, vasodilation (effects vary depending on volume status, autonomic tone, CV disease) Respiratory- depresses Cerebral- decreased CBF, ICP renal- decreased RBF and GFR Hepatic- decreased hepatic BF, can trigger porphyria

34
Q

Barbiturates are highly ? and are incompatible with opioids and NMBs because…

A

alkaline; they will precipitate

35
Q

What SE is associated with ketamine at high doses?

A

nausea

36
Q

What is the MoA for ketamine?

A

NMDA receptor antagonist (blocks glycine and glutamate)

37
Q

Metabolite of ketamine

A

norketamine- ACTIVE!

38
Q

Effects of ketamine on organ systems

A

CV- increased BP, HR, CO (avoid in those with cardiac disease respiratory- bronchodilator (good for asthma), increased salivation, does not depress ventilatory drive cerebral- increased CMRO2, CBF, ICP

39
Q

Psychedelic effects of ketamine

A

emergence delirium- visual, auditory, proprioceptive illusions dreams and hallucinations can occur up to 24 hours

40
Q

Drug interactions with ketamine

A

-NMBA are potentiated -valium attenuates CV effects and prolongs elimination -versed and prop can decrease psychedelic effects

41
Q

Benzo reversal

A

romazicon (flumazenil)

42
Q

Which benzos are oil based and which are water based?

A

oil based- valium and ativan water- versed

43
Q

5 effects of benzos

A

anxiolysis, sedation, anticonvulsant, anterograde amnesia, spinal cord mediated muscle relaxant

44
Q

MoA of benzos

A

enhances inhibitory effects of various NTs, especially GABA

45
Q

elimination half life of benzos

A

versed- 2 hours ativan- 15 hours valium- 30 hours

46
Q

Effect of benzos on organ systems

A

CV- minimal, slight drop in BP and increase in HR Respiratory- depress vent response to CO2 cerebral- prevents seizures, amnesia

47
Q

Characteristics of thiopental (from study guide)

A

anterograde amnesia, 2 hour elim 1/2 life, minimal CV and resp effects, raises seizure threshold, potentiated by other CNS depressants

48
Q

How soon does awakening occur from propofol and what is its eliminatino half time?

A

2-8 minutes; 0.5-1.5 h

49
Q

Elimination half time of etomidate

A

2-5 hours

50
Q

elimination half time of ketamine

A
