halothane

volatile anesthetic. Blood-gas partition coefficient: 2.4. non irritating to airways, most mycardial depression - more arhythmogenic than others, 20% metabolized (a lot). Halothane hepatitis occurs rarely

desflurane (Suprane)
volatile anesthetic. Blood-gas partition coefficient: 0.42. irritating to the airways. 0.02% metabolism. Myocardial depression is minimal. Produces prompt recovery (really insoluble (0.42)
isoflurane (Forane)

volatile anesthetic. Blood-gas partition coefficient: 1.4. irritating to the airways. 0.2% metabolism. Myocardial depression is minimal.

enflurane (Ethrane)
volatile anesthetic. Blood-gas partition coefficient: 1.9. next newer drug after halothane. 2% metabolism.
sevoflurane (Ultane)
volatile anesthetic. Blood-gas partition coefficient: 0.68. non irritating to airways. 2%-5% metabolism (turns out not to be a problem). Myocardial depression is minimal. Produces promt recover (insolubility 0.68)
nitrous oxide

volatile anesthetic - NOT potent. Blood-gas partition coefficient: 0.46. use: adjuct to potent volatile agents, reducing MAC requirements. Has few side effects

dantrolene (Dantrium)

treats malignant hyperthermia

succinylcholine (Anectine)
causes malignant hyperthermia with volatile anesthetics
thiopental (Pentothal)
induction agent. Thiobarbiturate. High lipid solubility; rapid and profound unconsciousness. Marked respiratory depression. Decrease symp. outflow from brain(symp.compensation?) Recovery occurs in 5-8 min due to redistribution. Use: IV induction and ECT
methohexital (Brevital)
induction agent. Oxybarbiturate. High lipid solubility; rapid and profound unconsciousness. Marked respiratory depression. Decrease symp. outflow from brain(symp.compensation?) Recovery occurs in 5-8 min due to redistribution. Use: IV induction and ECT
ketamine
induction agent. Phencyclidine derivative (high drug abuse risk). Gives sedation, amnesia, and analgesia. No resp or CV depression. No antagonist. NMDA receptor antagonist, instead of GABA facilitator). Dissociative pattern on EEG. Can have emergence delirium. helpful in pts who are opioid tolerant.
etomidate (Amidate)
induction agent. Produces resp despression. Does not produce CV depression. Cannot be antagonized. Use: IV induction, good to intubate pts w/hemodynamic instability
propofol (Diprivan)
induction agent. Newest induction agent:1991. dissolved in intralipid. Produces CV and resp depression (not good for trauma pts). Can't be antagonized. Can be used for maintenance. Least "hangover effect," so superceding thiopentol
alfentanil (Alfenta)
analgesic, potent, fast onset, short acting opioid.
fentanyl (Duragesic)
analgesic, profound opiod effect. High lipid solubility, high potency, fast onset, shorter duration of action (redistrubution terminates effects). Use: premedication, reduce MAC of volatile anesthetics. Markes resp depression, not much BP effect. Antagonized by naloxone.
remifentanil (Ultiva)
analgesic, opioid. Metabolized by plasma esterase, used as an infusion. Need controlled ventilation?
sufentanil (Sufenta)
analgesic, potent, fast onset, short acting opioid.
flumazenil (Romazicon)
premedication agent. Antagonist to benzodiazepines.
midazolam (Versed)
premedication agent, benzodiazepine. Highly lipid soluble. Produces sedation and amnesia. IV bz's can produce resp depression. Antagnoized by flumazenil.
volatile anesthetics
gases at room temp, used for maintenance of anesthesia, can be used for induction in some cases. Produce amnesia, muscle relaxation, suppress hemodynamic response to surgery (sympathetic) and are SAFE
premedication
prep for induction - anxiolytic/antianxiety. Usually benzodiazepine (midazolam) or opioid (fentanyl)
induction
initiation of unconsciousness for laryngoscopy/intubation. Paralytic induction agent combined with muscle relaxant. Enter brain rapidly, but have short effects as they redistribute
maintenance
balanced technique of volatile anesthetic, muscle relaxant, and opioid
emergence
anesthetic discontinued, elimination/metabolism occur. RARELY antagonists are administered
recovery
stabilize pt. drug elimination/metabolism continues. Side effects of anesthetics diminish/abate
cocaine
ester anesthesia metabolized by plasma esterase. Topical anesthetic, vasoconstrictor. Toxicity: MI, arrhythmias, seizures, hypertension
procaine (Novocaine)
ester anesthesia metabolized by plasma esterase. 45-60 min after infiltration. pKa 8.9
tetracaine (Synera)
ester anesthesia metabolized by plasma esterase. 60-180 min after infiltration. pKa 8.7
lidocaine (Xylocaine)
amide anesthesia metabolized by liver. 60-120 min after infiltration. pKa 7.9
mepivacaine (Carbocaine)
amide anesthesia metabolized by liver. 90-180 min after infiltration. pKa 7.6
bupivacaine (Sensorcaine)
amide anesthesia metabolized by liver. 240-480 min after infiltration. pKa 8.1
prilocaine (Emla)
amide anesthesia metabolized by liver. 60-120 min after infiltration. pKa 7.9
ropivacaine (Naropin)
amide anesthesia metabolized by liver. S-isomer less toxic with similar potency to bupivacaine
