Plasma concentration

Ropivacaine (pKa 8.2)

A large amount of drug has been removed from the plasma

Drug elimination from the central compartment

Lidocaine
Fentanyl

Unionized fraction of the drug increases

Rate of metabolism
Receptor binding efficacy

5

Propofol greater than + 0.7
Midazolam + 0.3-0.7
Rocuronium + Less than 0.3

Elimination half-time is equal to context-sensitive half-time

More likely to undergo renal elimination

Zero order kinetics

Free drug is dispersed across various physiologic compartments

drug S is 1/10th as potent as Drug R

Plasma concentration and effect-site concentration

It is calculated by LD50/ED50
