MOA: increased GABA action by increasing frequency of Cl- channel opening. Decreases REM sleep. MOst have long half-lives and active metabolites except for triazolam, oxazepam and midazolam (have higher addictive potential)

Toxicity: Dependence, additive CNS depression effects with alcohol. Benzos, barbs and EtOH all bind to GABA receptor, so risk of respiratory depression and coma

Antidote: flumazenil (competitive antagonist at GABA benzodiazepine receptor)
Tiagabine
Used in simple and complex

MOA: inhibits GABA reuptake
Vigabatrin
Used in simple and complex

MOA: Irreversibly inhibits GABA transaminase, so more GABA

Toxicity: ataxia, headaches, confusion, modest day-after psychomotor depression and few amnestic effects.

Antidote: Flumazenil

Short duration of action bc of rapid liver metabolism.
Inhaled anesthetics
Haloethane, enflurane, isoflurane, sevoflurane, methoxyfulurane, NO

Thiopental
IV anesthetic with high potency/lipid solubility, rapid entry into brain. Used for induction of anesthesia and short procedures.
Effect terminated by rapid redistribution into tissue and fat.

MOA: block inner part of Na+ channels, preferentially to activated channels (rapidly firing neurons).

Ep enhances action and decreases bleeding, increases anesthesia by decreasing systemic concentration

Small diameter fibers myelinated > small unmyelinated > large diameter myelinated > large unmyelinated (size more important)

What happens in infected tissue with local anesthetics?
Infected tissue is acidic, so this reacts wtih anesthetics and makes them alkaline and charged. They cannot penetrate the membrane effectively so more anesthetic is needed.
