Benzodiazepeins
Reduce anxiety , indcues sedation and amnesia
Narcotics
Relieve discomfort during pre-op procedures
Histamines H2 receptor antagonist
Increases gastric pH, decreases gastric volume
Antacids
increases gastric pH (decreases acidity)
antiemetics
increases gastric emptying, decreases nausea and vomiting
Anticholinergics
decreases oral and respiratory secretions
inhalation agents
provides muscle relaxation
drugs for general anesthesia
- pentothal ( tachycardia, decreased resp- long acting)

- Propofol (short acting, does not cause tachycardia, nausea or decreased resp rate)
List some inhalation agents
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas, weak anesthetic, rarely used alone)
- Desflaurane ( Helps open up bronchii)

- Halothane
Regional anesthetic
can be a spinal or a epidural.

- spinal: subarachnoid space L3L4- injected into cerebral spinal fluid, binds to nerve roots. loss of sensation waste down. Atonomic, sensory and motor blockade. fentanyl, Bupivicaine

Epidural: doe snto enter the cerebral spinal fluid- binds ot nerve roots entering and exiting the spinal cord. Sensory motor fibers blocked, motor fibers intact. Xylocaine, Dilaudid

-
ativan
used to treat anxiety
atropine
anticholinergic drug. Decreases bronchial and salivary secretions. increases heart rate.
valium
Benzodiazepine. Used to treat anxiety
versed
Benzodiazepine. Used for conscious sedation.
tagamet
Histamine H2 receptor antagonist. Increases gastric pH, decreases gastric volume.
zantac
Histamine H2 receptor antagonist. Increases gastric pH, decreases gastric volume.
pepcid
Histamine H2 receptor antagonist. Increases gastric pH, decreases gastric volume.
reglan
(metoclopramide). antiemetic and gastroprokinetic agent. increases peristalsis
Ketamine
induction and maintenance of general anesthesia,analgesia,
propofol
is a short-acting, intravenously administered hypnotic agent. Its uses include the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. Referred to milk of amnesia. does not cause tachycardia, or decreased respiratory rate.
Pentothal
a rapid-onset short-acting barbiturate general anaesthetic.
fentanyl
opiod narcotic. powerful sedation and analgesic.
sufentanil

- analgesic
- not good for liver probs
- not an anti-inflammatory
- given when pain is mild
- has a ceiling effect
- inhibits prostoglandin synthesis
