Video 14 Anesthetics Flashcards
What are the two main characteristics of the inhaled anesthetics?
Lipid and blood solubility.
Which are the effects of the inhaled anesthetics?
Myocardial and respiratory depressions, nauseas/emesis, increased cerebral blood flow (decreased cerebral metabolic demand).
What is the toxicity effect of the Halothane?
Hepatotoxicity.
What is the toxicity effect of the methoxyflurane?
Nephrotoxicity.
What is the toxicity effect of the enflurane?
Proconvulsant
What is the toxicity effect of the N2O?
Expansion of trapped gas in a body cavity.
What is a malignant hyperthermia?
Rare, life-threatening hereditary condition in which inhaled anesthetics (except N2O) and Succinylcholine induce fever and sever muscle contractions.
What is the treatment for malignant hyperthermia?
Dantrolene
Which group of anesthetics induce unconsciousness but do not provide analgesia?
Intravenous anesthetics
Which are the characteristics of Propofol?
1) Used in sedation in ICU.
2) Rapid onset: 15 to 20 seconds.
3) Potentiates GABA.
4) High triglyceride content.
What is the mechanism of the Arylcyclohexylamines (Ketamine)?
PCP analogs that act as a dissociative anesthetics.
Which are the uses for ketamine?
Analgesia, conscious sedation, induction.
Whic are the characteristics of ketamine?
1) Dissociative anesthetics.
2) Block NMDA receptors.
3) Cardiovascular stiumlants.
4) Increased cerebral blood flow.
Which are the side effects of the ketamine?
At high doses cause disorientation, hallucination, bad dreams.
What is the IV anesthetic that increased duration of GABA receptor Cl- channel stays open?
Barbiturates.
Which are the characteristics of the thiopental?
High potency, high lipid solubility, rapid entry into brain.
What are the uses of the barbiturates?
Used for induction of anesthesia and short surgical procedures.
Which is the main characteristic of the barbiturates?
Decreased cerebral blood flow.
Which are the characteristics of the Phenobarbital?

2) Treatment: Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II.
At what group of anesthetic belong diazepam, alprazolam, midazolam?
Benzodiazepines.
Which is the anesthetics that increased frequency of GABA receptor CI- channel opening and facilitate inhibitory effect of GABA?
Benzodiazepines
Which are the side effects of the benzodiazepines?
Conscious sedation, anesthesia, alcohol withdrawal, anxiety, seizures, insomnia and night terrors.
How do you treat the overdose of benzodiazepines?
Treat overdose with Flumazenil.
