Quiz 2 Flashcards
What is MAC?
minimum alveolar concentration- concentration required to keep 50% of humans from moving in response to painful stimulus
Blood gas coefficient of desflurane
0.42
Blood gas coefficient of sevoflurane
0.69
MAC of NO2
104
Blood gas coefficient/MAC/oil gas coefficient of NO2
0.46/104/1.4
Blood gas coefficient/MAC/oil gas coefficient of halothane
2.54/0.75/224
Blood gas coefficient/MAC/oil gas coefficient of isoflurane
1.46/1.2/98
Blood gas coefficient/MAC/oil gas coefficient of desflurane
0.42/6/18.7
Blood gas coefficient/MAC/oil gas coefficient of sevoflurane
0.69/2/55
ED 95 (level at which 95% of patients do not respond)
1.3x MAC
ED 95 (level at which 95% of patients do not respond)
1.3x MAC
What is blood:gas solubility?
ex) iso has coefficient of 1.4, so 1.4x as much gas stays in blood as goes out to tissue to have anesthetic effect (considered very soluble, stays in blood longer for effect)
Explain difference between higher and lower blood solubility
higher- slower uptake by brain and slower induction onset (more agent dissolved in blood, slow rise of alveolar partial pressure) lower- faster uptake by brain and faster induction onset (less agent dissolved in blood, alveolar partial pressure rises faster)
What is oil:gas solubility an indicator of?
potency (the higher the solubility, the more potent)
More potent drugs usually have a lower?
