Question
Answer
show Minimal alveolar anesthetic concentration (% of inspired air) at which 50% of pts do not respond to a surgical stimulus. Measures potency of an anesthetic. The lower the MAC value, the stronger the anesthetic.  
🗑
show In order of decreasing MAC value (increasing potency): NO, Des Sevo, En, Iso, Halo. Nitrous oxide, desflurane, Sevoflurane, Enflurane, Isoflurane, Haloflurane. ISOdora has SEVeral HALOs, so has NO DESire to ENhale that cigarette.  
🗑
Name 6 inhaled anesthetics in blood-gas solubility order   show
🗑
show Rate of onset and recovery of inhaled anesthetics. The more soluble a gasin the blood, the longer that drug takes to exert its effects on the CNS or other body tissues (it wants to stay in ght  
🗑
show NO - but relatively fast, so often used in combo with other anesthetics  
🗑
show Minimal  
🗑
Which inhaled anesthetic has the most rapid onset and recovery? Adverse effects?   show
🗑
What are the cardiovascular effects of Desflurane?   show
🗑
Which inhaled anesthetics cause vasodilation and increased heart rate?   show
🗑
show Sevoflurane, Enflurane, Haloflurane  
🗑
show Haloflurane  
🗑
Which inhaled anesthetic causes tonic/clonic muscle spasms?   show
🗑
Which inhaled anesthetic causes bronchiolar secretions and spasms?   show
🗑
show Haloflurane  
🗑
Which inhaled anesthetic causes malignant hyperthermia?   show
🗑
show Haloflurane  
🗑
show 1. lowers response to increased PCO2, 2. increase cerebral blood flow, 3. relax uterine smooth muscle  
🗑
show Thiopental, Midazolam, Propofol, Fentanyl, Ketamine. Rich-as-MIDAs THIO PROPOsed to FEN-yen while on IV special K (ketamine).  
🗑
Which IV anesthetic should be used for induction? Why?   show
🗑
Which IV anesthetic should be used for preoperative sedation? Why?   show
🗑
Which IV anesthetic should be used for outpatient surgery? Why?   show
🗑
Which IV anesthetic is a potent analgesic?   show
🗑
show Ketamine (NMDS receptor antagonist)  
🗑
How is thiopental eliminated from the body?   show
🗑
What is the effect of thiopental?   show
🗑
show Depresses respiratory function.  
🗑
How do you reverse the effects of midazolam?   show
🗑
Which anesthetic causes dissociative amnesia?   show
🗑
Adverse effects of fentanyl   show
🗑
What is neurolept anesthesia?   show
🗑
show rapid onset and short-duration, causes amensia, catatonia, and analgesia.  
🗑
show Occurs with ketmine use - vivid dreams and hallucinations. Can be offset by BZ's.  
🗑
Esters and amides are what kind of anesthetic? How can you tell the difference?   show
🗑
show by plasma and tissue esterases  
🗑
show liver amidases  
🗑
What is the mechanism of local anesthetics (LA)?   show
🗑
show Increased acidity would protonate the LA's (which are usually weak bases), so they can't cross the lipid bilayer to bind to the inactivated Na channel --> decrease LA activity  
🗑
Which nerve fibers are most sensitive to the actions of local anesthetics? List in order of sensitivity.   show
🗑
show LA absorption into systemic circulation decreases --> prolong LA effects, decreases toxicity.  
🗑
show Neuro: dizzines, nystagmus, sensory impairment, seizures. CV: CV depression, except for cocaine, which increases HR and BP. Allergies: esters --> PABA --> people are allergic to PABA  
🗑
show toxin from puffer fish. Binds externally to READY state (M closed, h open) of Na channels in both cardiac and nerve cell membranes --> block Na influx --> no depolarization --> no conduction  
🗑
show toxin from dinoflagellates in "red tide". Binds externally to READY state (M closed, h open) of Na channels in both cardiac and nerve cell membranes --> block Na influx --> no depolarization --> no conduction  
🗑
show toxin from exotic fish and Moray eels. Binds in the Na channel in the OPEN state (both M and h are open) --> persistent depolarization --> channel inactivation  
🗑
show toxin from south American frogs. Binds in the Na channel in the OPEN state (both M and h are open) --> persistent depolarization --> channel inactivation  
🗑
