Sevoflurane Flashcards

1
Q

Sevoflurane Pulmonary Effects

A
  • respiratory depression with very slight tachypnea
  • decreased VT causes minute ventilation and CO2 retention
  • bronchodilation
  • inhibits bronchoconstriction
  • least airway irritant of all inhalation agents
  • great for induction inhalation

Q

Halothane Neurological Effects: MEP

A

depress MEP monitoring

17
Q

sevo metabolized per renal

A

oxidatively metabolized to hexafluoroisopropanol, formaldehyde, inorganic fluoride and CO2
-increase Fl- can cause renal failure but none reported with sevo

18
Q

sevo and known renal disease

A

does use probably with known or suspected risk for renal damage

19
Q

sevo and Fl- ions in the blood

A

free Fl concentration of 40-50 mcg/L are nephrotoxic

-results in free ions in the blood

20
Q

Renal tubular function and sevoflurane

A

directly inhibits tubular function including Cl transport int he ascending limb of the loop of Henle which leads to concentrating defect

21
Q

obstetrical and N2o

A

decreases activity of methionine synthetase and thymidylate synthetase which is important in RNA/DNA replication patterns
-increased risk of miscarriage prior to scavenger system
