Volatiles And Other Anesthetics Flashcards
Isoflurane is what type of volatile ?
Halogenated Methyl Ethyl Ether.
5 Characteristics of ISO
1) Pungent Odor
2) Intermediate Blood solubility
3) Immediate Onset and Recovery
4) Highly Potent
5) Isomer of Enflurane
6) No preservative needed
All CNS effects of ISO (5)
No Seizure = Suppress convulsant properties
Increases CBF ( Hello> Everyone> I =Do increase CBF ) at MAC 1.1
Decrease CRMO2 - dose dependent ( ISO=DES=SEVO>Halothane)
Cerebral protection
Increase in ICP ∞ to increase CBF
CV effects of ISO (9) HR, left SV, CO, SVR, PVR, Arrythmia, Coronary, BP, IPC
Transiently Increase HR ( Des>ISO) * all the pungents increase HR !!
Decrease Left SV
No change in CO
Most profound Decrease in SVR ( I» don’t > See an SVR )
Little to no effect on PVR
Min to nonexistent Epinephrine induced arrhythmia effect
Most potent coronary dilator : coronary steal, dilates smaller >larger coronaries, ischemis in CAD pts
All volatiles decrease BP
Good cardiac protection APC ( anesthetic pre conditioning )/ IPC (Ischemic pre conditioning)
ISO pulomonary effects (8) RR, TV, Min Vent, CO2, Vent response to CO2, airway resistance, PVR, HPV
*Increase Frequency of breathing
Decrease TV
Decrease Minute ventilation = increase PaCO2–Resp acidosis
*Increase CO2
Decrease Ventilatory response to CO2
Decrease airway resistance after antigen bronchoconstriction
Decrease PVR ( ISO>SEVO)
Decrease HPV ( hypoxic pulm vasoconstriction)
Hepatic effects of ISO (3)
1-Maintain hepatic artery but increase portal vein blood flow= good for hep oxygenation
2-No transient increase in ALT ( but DES and Enflurane increase ALT)
(All surgical stimulation does increase all LFTS)
3- metabolism to acetylated liver protein similar to halothane = severe antibody response possible in that manner : H>E>I>D
*HEID your liver from antibody attack
Metabolism of ISO
Only 0.2% is metabolized
By P450 enzymes
Oxidative metabolism to TRIFLUOROCETIC ACID leads to acetylated hepatic protein AB complexes
Less inorganic fluoride production than Enflurane .

How many stages of anesthesia
4 Stages
Stage 1 of anesthesia starts and ends when ?
Start at Induction
End at loss of consciousness ( no eyelid reflex)
Can still feel pain
What is Stage 2 of anesthesia
Delirium Excitement
Uninhibited excitation
Pupils dilated, divergent gaze
Potentially dangerous response to noxious stimuli: Breath holding, Muscular rigidity, Vomiting Laryngospasm
What is Stage 3 of anesthesia
Surgical Anesthesia
Centralized gaze with constriction of pupils
Regular respirations
Anesthesia depth is sufficient for noxious stimuli when the noxious stimuli dose not cause increase sympathetic response.
Pupils dilated with divergent gaze is what stage of anesthesia ?
Stage 2
What potential dangerous response to noxious stimuli occur in Stage 2 of anesthesia
Laryngospasm
Vomiting
Breath holding
Muscular rigidity
What is Stage 4 anesthesia
Stay away from. Too deep
Apnea
Non reactive dilated pupils
Hypotension resulting in complete CV collapse if not monitored closely
What stage is nonreactive dilated pupil ?
Stage 4
too deep

Therapeutic Index is described as
As the ratio between LD50 and ED50 LD50/ED50
What is LD50
Dose of the drug required to produce to death in 50 % of patients.
What is ED 50
Dose of a drug required to produce desired drug effects in 50 % of patients
Why is LD50/ED50 not clinically useful in anesthesia
Because we expect 100% of patients to fall asleep and nobody to die
Cricoid Pressure , also called Sellick Maneuver . How and what force what gets displaced where?
Downward Pressure with the thumb and Index finger on the cricoid cartilage
Approx 5 kg pressure or 30 Newton
Displaced posteriorly and the esophagus is thus compressed against the underlying cervical vertabrae
To prevent spillage of gastric content during induction .
Difficult Airway Algorithm . The 4 steps to consider
- Assess basic management problems : diff consent, diff mask ventilation, Diff SGA placement, Diff Laryngoscopy , Diff intubation , Diff SUrgical airway access
- Active seek O2 delivery throughout Diff airway
- Consider Feasibility : awake vs post induction intubation , non-invasive vs Invasive , VL as an initial approach , Preservation vs ablation of Ventilation
- Develop primary and alternative strategies
Difficult Airway Algorithm, what are the primary vs alternative strategies ? ( 2 main ones )
1) Awake Intubation :
A) noninvasive approach»_space;
A1 ) Succeed»_space; confirm Ventilation, Tracheal intubation or SGA place with exhaled CO2
A2) Fail»_space; 1) cancel case, 2) feasibility of other options like face mask or SGA 3) Invasive airway : surgical or percutaneous airway, jet ventilation, retrograde intubation .
B) Invasive Airway Acces
2) Intubation after Induction of Anesthesia
Difficult Airway Algorithm: 2nd alternative algorithm
2) Intubation after induction of anesthesia :

- what is the pt corporation and * always have a diff to intubate cart ready
Where is the narrowest region in the Infant airway ?
Cricoid ring
Macintosh style vs Miller style
Macintosh : curved blade : less trauma to teeth , more room for ETT , larger flange= increase ability to sweep the tongue , less bruising of epiglottis bc the tip blade doesn’t touch the epiglottis directly . It’s placed in the valleculla : between the base of the tongue and pharyngeal structure of the epiglottis
Miller : Straight blade : better exposure of glottic opening , smaller profile = good for patients with small mouth opening . The tip passed beneath the LARYNGEAL structure of the epiglottis , directly elevates the epiglottis to expose the glottic opening
Where is the Valleculla ?
Between the base of the tongue and the pharyngeal structure of the epiglottis
What are the standard intubating blade sizes.
Sized by their length
