Team challenge Flashcards
What drug is thiopental
Barbiturate
Local anesthetics work at the internal or external membrane of the sodium channel?
Internal
Thiopental is a strong base or strong acid
Strong acid (barbituric acid)
Which intravenous anesthetic also has a protective effect against post-operative nausea and vomiting?
Propofol (anti-emetic properties)
Unconsciousness produced by inhaled anesthetics is reversible or non-reversible?
Reversible
Ketamine is most like what drug?
PCP
What is the treatment for local anesthetic toxicity?
Intralipid
Ture or false, local anesthetics do NOT block sympathetic nerves?
False, act on all nerves
What is the effect of inhaled anesthetics on EEG
Flatten EEG
What disease is associated with inhaled anesthetics that results in increased temperature and results in death?
Malignant hyperthermia
Which inhaled anesthetics is least soluble in blood: isoflurane, desflurane, sevoflurane?
Desflurane: rapid onset and offset
Which intravenous anesthetic results in more deaths at pearl harbor than the actual attack? When induced in soldiers that were hypovolemic, soldiers will die in sleep
Thiopental
Emergence from inhaled anesthetics depends on which, elimination or metabolism?
Elimination. Inhaled anesthetics DON’t undergo metabolism!!
Which local anesthetic has more rapid onset: bupivacaine (pKA 8.1), lidocaine (pKA 7.9)
Lidocaine: closer to body pKa assodicated with faster onset
Which induction agent is contraindicated in egg allergy?
Propofol
Which IV anesthetic has minimal effects on the cardiovascular system?
Etomidate - profound hemodynamic stability
Which of the following drugs is the mechanism of action clear? IV, inhaled, or local anesthetics?
Local anesthetics
Rapid induction of anesthesia is done with an inhaled or IV anesthetic?
IV anesthetic
Maintenance of anesthesia occurs with an inhaled or IV anesthetic?
Inhaled anesthetic
What hair color increases MAC?
Red hair (also resistant to inhaled anesthetic)
What is the effect of inhaled anesthetic on minute ventilation?
Goes down - increased respiration can’t compensate for decrease in tidal volume
For inhaled anesthetics, speed of onset is determined by which property?
Blood solubility
What gas is typically administered for analgesia?
Nitrous oxide
What is the effect of inhaled anesthetics on uterine tone?
Decreases uterine tone (increase bleeding)
What does the injection if IV opioids due to MAC?
Decrease MAC - don’t need as much inhaled anesthetics
What do the inhaled anesthetics due to ventilatory response to low blood oxygen?
Decreases - areflexia (also to bronchomotor tone)
What do the inhaled anesthetics due to bronchiolar tone?
Bronchodilates
What do the inhaled agents do to cerebral blood flow?
Increase cerebral blood flow - don’t use for patients with ICP
The inhaled agents are supplied from the manufacturer in what form?
Liquid and then converted to a vapor
What class of drugs are the inhaled anesthetics?
All ethers (C-O-C configuration)
For the termination of a drug effect, which is more important: redistribution or elimination?
Redistribution
What drug is contraindicated with acute intermittent porphyria?
Thiopental (IV anesthetic)
What does propofol due to cerebral blood flow?
Decrease cerebral blood flow
What is the amount of IV anesthetic to prevent awareness?
Don’t know! inhaled anesthetics have MAC
Which IV anesthetic can also be given IM?
Ketamine
In addition to potassium chloride and panchorinium, which anesthetic is used for lethal injection?
Thiopental
Thiopental causes hypotension by myocardial depression and …?
vasodilation
The term for the longer you infuse a drug, the longer it takes to eliminate
Context-sensitive half life
