Define anesthesia
Insensible or without feeling
6 aspects of general anesthesia
- Reversible CNS depression
- Unconsciousness (absence of awareness)
- Amnesia
- Analgesia
- Muscle relaxation
- Immobility (Diminished motor response to noxious stimulation)
What occurs in Stage I of anesthesia?
Stage of voluntary movement
What occurs in Stage II of anesthesia? (2)
- Stage of delirium or involuntary movement
- Loss of voluntary control

Excitement stage
What occurs in Stage III of anesthesia?
Surgical anesthesia
- Unconsciousness
What occurs in Stage IV of anesthesia?
CNS extremely depressed
- Respiration ceases (euthanasia)
2 inhalation anesthetics used today
- Isoflurane
- Sevoflurane
Respiratory rate's effect on induction with inhalant anesthetics
Faster they breathe, the faster they're induced
What does a high Blood/Gas Partition Coefficient mean?
The compound likes to stay in the blood, so doesn't move into CNS as quick and as a result, induction is slower
How does HR affect induction rate?
Inversely, because as HR increases, induction rate will decrease as blood has less alveolar contact time
Relationship of MAC to potency
Inversely related
What's a potential downside of a low Blood/Gas Partition Coefficient?
Cleared quicker, so animal may wake up too soon
Why does Isoflurane induce anesthesia slower than Sevoflurane?
Isoflurane is more potent, but has a higher Blood/Gas Partition Coefficient than Sevoflurane
MoA of Inhalant anesthetics
Unknown
Inhalant anesthetics affect on CNS (2)
- CNS depression
- Increase CBF (increases intracranial pressure)
Inhalant anesthetics affect on CV
CV depression
Inhalant anesthetics affect on Respiration
Respiratory depression
Inhalant anesthetics affect on kidney
Alters blood flow
Which inhalant anesthetic produces 'Compound A', and where?
Sevoflurane
- In the kidneys
What is the significance of Compound A, and where does it come from?
Nephrotoxic
- Produced by Sevoflurane
4 AE of occupational exposure to inhalant anesthetics
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Vomiting
- Spontaneous abortion
Which stage of anesthesia is surgery done in?
III
Which stage of Anesthesia is the excitement stage?
II
What's the benefit of injectable anesthetics?
Proceed quickly through stage II
4 actions of barbiturates
- Sedation
- Hypnosis (sleep)
- Anesthesia
- Death
MoA of Barbiturates
Binds to GABA
- Depresses RAS
3 barbiturates
- Thiopental
- Pentobarbital
- Phenobarbital
Which barbiturate is longest acting?
Phenobarbital
Which barbiturate is shortest acting?
Thiopental
Barbiturates are controlled substances
Barbiturates are controlled substances
What's important to remember about barbiturate injection?
Causes sloughing of skin if not injected correctly
Babiturate effects on CNS (2)
- CNS depression
- Anti-convulsants
Babiturate effects on Respiration
Respiratory depression
Babiturate effects on Musculature
Muscle relaxation
Babiturate effects on Liver
Increase CYP450
Analgesic properties of Babiturates
Not analgesic
What terminates anesthesia of barbiturates?
Physical redistribution from CNS into other tissues
Liver metabolism order of barbiturates
All metabolized at same rate
Dissociative Anesthetics effects on CNS
Increase cerebral blood flow (increases intracranial pressure)
Dissociative Anesthetics effects on CV
Increase HR
Dissociative Anesthetics effects on Respiration
Apneusis
Dissociative Anesthetics effects on Musculature
No relaxation
Dissociative Anesthetics effects on eyes
Increase in intraocular pressure
Analgesic effects of Dissociative Anesthetics
Produces analgesia
All Dissociative Anesthetics are scheduled drugs
All Dissociative Anesthetics are scheduled drugs
What drug is tiletamine combined with?
Zolazepam
What was the first dissociative anesthetic used in veterinary medicine?
Phencyclidine (PCP)
