Uptake/Distribution of INH agents Flashcards
Uptake of the volatile anesthetic into the blood is determined by what 3 things?
Solubility of the agent
CO
A-v pressure differences
________ determines how the anesthetic will partition itself b/t the blood and air phases when equilibrium is reached.
Solubility
Solubility looks at the equilibrium state of equal __________________
partial pressures
Solubility is expressed in terms of ___________ ___________
partition coefficients
What is the B:G coefficient for Desflurane?
.42
What is the B:G coefficient for N2O
.47
What is the B:G coefficient for Sevo?
.69
What is the B:G coefficient for Isoflurane?
1.4 (intermediate)
What is the B:G coefficient for Enflurane?
1.8
What is the B:G coefficient for Halothane?
2.4 (most soluble)
Solubility will determine the ______________
alveolar concentration
A lower HCT will make the gas _______ soluble which will mean a ______ induction
less soluble
faster
The steeper the FA/FI slope, the __________ the onset of the agent.
faster
T/F: PA = Pa = Pbr
true! this is how we use PA to estimate the depth of anesthesia and MAC
The PA (pressure in alveoli) of volatile anesthetic is determined by what 4 things:
PI (inhaled partial pressure)
alveolar ventilation
breathing circuit
FRC
Changes in alveolar concentration are more rapid with a _____ rate and _____ tidal volumes
fast
small
IE) hyperventilate for a more rapid change
