Term
MAC of Isoflurane is
Definition
1.15%
Term
MAC deflurane
Definition
6%
Term
Does cyclosporines increase or decrease MAC? Does this mean you need more or less of the inhaled agent?
Definition
cyclosporines INCREASE MAC = INCREASE DRUG REQUIREMENTS. Cyclosporine is an immunosuppresant drug for transplants that targets T helper cells.
Term
At what age will the patient have the highest MAC requirement
Definition
6 months
Term
Red heads need more MAC because of what in their system
Definition
increase levels of pheomelanin-production.
Term
Patients on MAOis, Tricyclics, SSRIs will need more or less MAC for volatile agents? Why?
Definition
NEED MORE! INCREASE MAC/INCREASE VOLATILE AMOUNT. B/c these drugs for depression treat depression by increasing central catecholamine levels.
Term
Pregnancy..increases or decreases MAC
Definition
Decreases
Term
Lithium will increase or decrease MAC
Definition
DECREASE. ANTIPYSCHOTICS ARE ADDITIVE TO SEDATION
Term
A PaO2 of __ will have no effect on MAC
Definition
PaO2 > 38 has no effect on MAC
Term
A CO2 of __ will have no effect on MAC
Definition
CO 15-95 will not effect MAC
Term
Cardiopulmonary bypass will do what to MAC
Definition
DECREASE MAC
Term
Can High or low potassium levels affect MAC?
Definition
NO NEITHER AFFECT MAC
Term
Does duration of anesthesia affect MAC
Definition
NO"
Term
MAC AWAKE is what percentage of MAC
Definition
MAC Awake is 1/3 of MAC. BUT CANNOT MAKE MEMORIES
Term
Mac Aware is what percentage of MAC
Definition
1/10 of MAC
Term
Does MAC Awake or MAC Aware able to make memories
Definition
MAC Aware.
Term
What is the MAC at which 95% of patients will not move in response to stimulus
Definition
1.2
Term
a patient with hypothyroid disease will have a increase or decreasse in mac
Definition
NO EFFECT. Thyroid whether high or low has no effect on MAC
Term
a patient on sevo for 10 hours will have a lower or higher MAC requirement than a person on SEVO for 1/2 hour.
Definition
NO DIFFERENCE. BOTH WILL HAVE SAME MAC
Term
What is the MAC BAR for Sevo
Definition
2.2 MAC
Term
MAC BAR stands for>
Definition
MAC at which you block autonomic resposne to stimulil.
Term
an addition of ___ mcg/kg of fentanyl will decrease MAC BAR to?
Definition
1.5-3 mcg/kg of fentanyl decreases MAC BAR to 0.4-0.63 MAC
Term
Blood gas solubility for:
1. Desflurane
2. Nitrous
3. Sevo
4. Isoflurane
Definition
1. Desflurane: 0.42
2. Nitrous: 0.47
3. Sevo: 0.59
4. Isoflurane: 1.4
Term
if a gas is being uptaked in the alveoli at a large rate then will the onset be increased or decreased.
Definition
UPTAKE = BAD. More uptake means more volatile in blood and less in brain
Term
describe the second gas effect
Definition
When using nitrous + volatile. Nitorus is absorbed much more readily and result in alveolar collapse due to loss of gas. Now with a smaller size of alveolar space your monitors falsely register the volatile as being a larger % in this smaller space.
Term
overpressure in relation to inhaled anesthetic means
Definition
you crank up the gas so that you increase the concentration gradient to casue a fast onset of action.
Term
UPTAKE FORMULA = ??
Definition
Uptake = lamda x Q x Pa - Pv
------
P

P = barometric pressure
Q = perfusion
Lamda = B:G coefficent
Pa = alveolar pressure
Term
how do the following affect induction time for inhaled anesthetics
1. FRC
Definition
Increased FRC means larger bucket to fill with gas. Means slower induction. Ex would be COPD patients

Decrease FRC in paturients or neonates or large abdominal tumors pushing up on diagphram means faster onset. Bucket is smalelr and filled up more quickly.
Term
What type of shunt has an effect on induction of inhaled anesthetics
Definition
R to L shunt will decrease induction time.
Term
is cardiac output directly or indirectly related to agent uptake into the blood
Definition
directly related. So higher the cardiac output then larger amount uptaked into blood. Greater uptake = slower induction.
Term
what does the meyer-overton theory explain
Definition
the correlation between lipid solubility of inhaled anesthetics and its MAC
Term
O:G is proprotional or inverse to MAC
Definition
INVERSE!!!! Higher the O:G then lower the MAC. So higher the O:G means more lipid soluble means more potenet. More potenet means the MAC will be lower.
Term
What is the O:G of sevo and nitrous
Definition
Sevo: 55
Nitrous: 1.4
Term
Which coefficent predicts emergence times from anesthesia
Definition
Tissue:Gas
Term
What is the tissue:gass coefficent for
1. Nitrous
2. Desflurane
3. Sevo
4. Iso
Definition
1. Nitrous - 1.22
2. Desflurane - 35
3. Sevo - 99
4. Iso - 110
Term
Per guedel's chart the amnesia stage I ends when
Definition
Ends with loss of consciousness seen by loss of eyelid reflex
Term
Stage II delirium / excitment is characterized by
Definition
1. breath-holding
2. struggling
3. vomiting
4. laryngospasms
Term
what do the eyes look like during stage II
Definition
1. dilated
2. divergent
Term
what do eyes look like during surgical anesthesia Stage III
Definition
1. pupillary constriction
2. central gaze
Term
Stage IV anesthesia is characterized by
Definition
1. apnea
2. pupils are dilated and non-reactive
3. hypotension leading to complete CV collapse
4. TOO DEEP
Term
All inhaled agents do what to brain
Definition
decrease EEG and decrease CMRO2. But increase in CBF and Increase ICP.
Term
Which volatile may actually increase EEG and can preciptiate seizures at high doses
Definition
SEVO. That's one of the reasons why we don't use it during SSEP monitoring.
Term
What is the best gas for limiting increaases in CBF
Definition
isoflurane
Term
which gas has the most likely ability to cause EEG stimulation at high doses
Definition
SEVO is the biggest culprit
Term
Which volatile effects SVR the most
Definition
Isoflurane
Term
Does nitrous affect BP
Definition
NO
Term
the dose limit for exogenous epi for a patient on volatiles is
Definition
N6 mcg / kg.
Term
do our volatiles sensitize the myocardium to effects of exogenous and endogenous catecholamines?
Definition
NO. Sevo, iso and des DO NOT Sensitize the myocardium.
Term
Why do patients on volatiles have decrease TV
Definition
due to loss of accessory muscles of respiration
Term
at a MAC of ? We see a markedly depressed response of the body to hypoxia. This is due to depression of what part of our brain by volatiles and Nitrous
Definition
CArotid body is depressed. At mac 1.1.
Term
all volatiles interfere with heaptic drug clearnace via what two mechanisms
Definition
1. reduction of heaptic blood flow
2. suppression of metabolizing enzymes
Term
sevo when it reacts with ___ can produce compound A
Definition
Sevo reacting with soda lime in the circuit forms compound A. Therefore it is a degradation product from co2 absorber not a metabolite.
Term
why avoid NO2 in immunocomprised people
Definition
1. causes megaloblastic changes
2. agranulocytosis
3. impedes hematopoiesis
