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
|
|

|
|
Which barbiturate is shortest acting?
|

|
|
Barbiturates are controlled substances
|
Barbiturates are controlled substances
|
