Sedative/Hypnotics Flashcards
not barbs not Benzes
deprival edta has
preservative in it. hence edta
propofol generic preservative =
sodium metabisulfite. Which can cause bronchospasm
ampofol-low preservative
has no preservative r/t Lower lipid concentration
aqua-van prodrug
hydrolysis in plasma
can be unpredictable
slower onset, higher VD, higher potency
propofol MOA
Acts at GABAa (major)
glycine (minor)
reduces rate of dissociation of GABA from GABAa
NO SPINAL CORD DEPRESSION (despite glycine)
volume of distribution of propofol is
HUGE
Vd 3.5 - 4.5 L/Kg
metabolism of propofol is
CAPACITANCE dependent
because clearance exceeds hepatic blood flow. -
Relies on enzyme activity
elimination half time of propofol
0.5 to 1.5 hours
CNS effects of propofol
cerebroprotective
(decreses CBF, ICP, CMRO2, and CPP)
EEG burst suppression
antioxidant effects (vitamin E)
highest dose of propofol is usually in
toddlers r/t increasing circulation
must reduce propofol dose in
elderly, neonates
propofol + bronchodilation
in COPD Patients, except when using generic with sodium bisulfate
hypercarbia and hypocarbia respones in propofol
decreased ventilatory response to arterial hypoxemia /hypercarbia, intact ventilatory response to hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction
potential for bronchodilator in COPD
CV effects of propofol
25 - 40 % decrease in BP up to 40%
dose dependent myocardial depression and vasodilation
decrease in SV, CO, SVR
heart rate unchanged - inhibition of baroreceptors?
antipruritic and anti-emetic at
sub hypnotic doses
mechanism unknown.
doses of propofol:
induction 1 to 2.5 mg/kg or to 3 mg/kg in toddlers
GA maintenance: 100-300 mcg/kg/min
sedation infusion: 25 - 100 mcg/kg/min
metabolites of propofol
4-hydroxypropofol is 1/3 as potent
Etomidate/Amidate is
carboxylated imidazole derivative
