Term
what does general anesthesia supres
Definition
reversible loss of sensation and consciousness: analgesia, amnesia, LOS, relax skeletal muscle, somatic, autonomic, endocrine reflexes, hemodynamic stability
Term
what are three things that affect transfer of drug from machine to alveoli
Definition
inspired PP
alveolar ventilation
characteristics of the breathing system
Term
what are three things that effect the transfer of drug from alveoli to arteriole
Definition
blood bas partition coefficient
cardiac output
alveolar to venous PP difference
Term
what are three things that affect transfer of drug from arterial blood to brain
Definition
brain blood partition coefficient
cerebral blood flow
arterial to venous PP difference
Term
how does the PP of a anesthetic change its effect in a person
Definition
it is proportional to fractional concentration of the mixture

increased amount dissolved (solibility) decreases partial pressure in solution

driving force that moves gas from machine to lung, lung to blood, blood to brain

at equlribium PP are equal in all body tissues, alveoli, inspired mixture
Term
how does solubility of a anesthetic change its effect in a person
Definition
blood gas partition coefficient: relationship between arterial PP and solubility

higher solubility means more dissolved and less PP of gas

more dissolved (water soluble) means faster distribution but slower induction

lipid soluble means slow distribution but fast induction into tissue
Term
how is alveolar ventilation of anesthetic calculated
Definition
= RR x (TV - dead space) x rate of drug induction
Term
why do we care about alveolar ventilation of anesthetic
Definition
more dead space means that same drug gets to lung less in some people

it is adjusted in respiratory depressants (opioids, barbs), pulmonary disease, emphysema, COPD
Term
what is the law of mass action
Definition
initially at alveoli PP of anesthetic is higher than alveolar blood so gas move sinto PP and PP in blood increases and as gradient lessens it slows
Term
how does changes in cardiac output effect inhaled anesthetics
Definition
CO determines pulmonary flow, increased pulmonary flow decreases induction of anesthetic

same volume of gas from alveoli diffuse into larger volume of blood per time

initially reduced concentration in blood and PP is proportional to its concentration

any increase in CO means more perfusion to tissues other than the brain
Term
what does increase in anesthetic concentration, alveolar ventilation, solubility of anesthetic, and CO do to rate of induction
Definition
concentration: increases
ventilation: increases
solubility: decreases
CO: decreases
Term
what actions of the drug in the body determine potency of general anesthetic
Definition
concentration in the brain
correlates with lipid solubility
Term
what is the minimum alveolar concentration
Definition
expression of potency of inhaled anesthetic
concentration that prevents 50% from responding to painful stimuli like incision

range for surgery 1-2
MAC 1.3 gives ED99
Term
what is the volume of expansion theory
Definition
molecules of drug dissolve in lipid bilayer causing neuronal membrane to expand stopping ion channels and propagation of AP

specific receptor binding on GABAa

NO effect on Cl channel like BDZ and barbs
Term
6 inhaled general anesthetics
Definition
no one deserves seven isolated halos en florance
nitrOUS oxide
desflurane
sevoflurane
isoflurane
halothane
enflurane
Term
inhaled general anesthetic most commonly used
Definition
isoflurane
Term
inhaled general anesthetic not able to be used alone in surgery
Definition
nitrous oxide
Term
inhaled general anesthetic often delivered with opioids or volitale anesthetics
Definition
nitrous oxide
Term
nitrous oxide: potency and why
Definition
low lotency, poor blood solubility
allows rapid achievement of alveolar to brain PP of lung
Term
nitrous oxide SE 3
Definition
not flamable but can support combustion
minimal skeletal muscle relaxation
inhaled anesthetics are addictive
considered safest
Term
halothane SE 8
Definition
low incidence of toxic effects, not flammable

rapid awakening

low margin of safety: circulatory depression, decreased CO, hypotension, bradycardua

halothane hepatitis: hepatic failure and death due to metabolism of immunologic biproducts

releases bromide

malignant hypothermia with succinylcholine (TX dantrolene)
Term
isoflurane SE 3
Definition
decreased BP due to decreased vascular tone

no renal of hepatic metabolism

irritating to airway
Term
enflurane SE 3
Definition
significant release of fluoride with prolonged use and high doses

seizure with high doses

less proability of arrhythmia
Term
sevoflurane SE 3
Definition
less irritating to airway

no tachycardia (preferred in pt prone to MI)

potential nephrotoxicity due to compound A: degradation made by sevofluraine, CO2, and sodalime
Term
desflurane SE 1
Definition
laryngeal spasm: not indicated for inhalation induction

special delivery system to make liquid at room temp
Term
why use IV anesthetic over inhaled
Definition
add flexability and permit administration of lower concentrations of inhaled agents
Term
drugs used as IV anesthetics 7
Definition
barbituates
benzos

kit, amy, e tom dated droned pairs of dolls on fentanyl and propfol
ketamine
etomidate
doperidol
fetanyl
propfol
Term
barbs used in IV anesthetics 2
Definition
thios penpal sent him meth in a hexagon envelope
thiopental
methohexital
Term
benzos used for IV anesthetics 1
Definition
mydalzing lamb had no pain
midazoloam
Term
barb as IV anesthetic: 1 good 1 bad
Definition
sedation
poor analgesia, may increase response to pain
Term
benzos as IV anesthetic: use, effects
Definition
midazoloam is only one used in anesthesia
other benzos provide anesthesia without analgesia and can only be used in procedures with little pain or adjunct to inhaled anesthetic
Term
doperidol and fentanul: use, SE
Definition
neuroleptic anesthesia
slow induction
may need ventilation
Term
ketamine MOA 2
Definition
opioid sigma agonist
NMSA antagonist
Term
ketamine SE
Definition
dissociative amnesia: dissociation from enivornment (eyes open, unresponsive to pain)

analgesia
amnesia
hallucinations
bad dreams
delirium: days to weeks later

increased ICP: do not use in cerebral ischemia risk pt

potent bronchodilator: good for patients with bronchospasm risk
Term
propofol: MOA, use, SE 2
Definition
interacts with GABAa receptors

rapid redistribution and elimination for short procedures and out patient surgery

low nausea and vomiting
pain on ijection
Term
etomidate: MIA, SE 2
Definition
interacts with GABAa receptors
high incidence of myclonus
pain on injection
