Describe the concept of MAC
Minimal Alveolar Concentration
that will block movement in response to incision in 50% of patients
What does MAC correlate best to?
It correlates inversely with the lipid/gas partition coefficient (i.e. the greater the lipid solubility, the less anesthetic is needed)
How is MAc expressed?
AS a % of inspired air
Which inhaled anesthetic has the highest MAC? Lowest MAC?
Highest = Nitrous Oxide

Lowest = Halothane
What is the only inhaled analgesic that has significant anesthetic?
NITROUS OXIDE
What will give a fast induction/recovery time for an analgesic? Examples 2

Sevoflurane
What is the suspected mechanism of general and IV anesthetics?
Direct or Indirect action on the GABA receptor.
Descirbe the indirect action of anesthetic on the GABA receptor?
They indirectly act to enhance the GABA effect to increase the chloride conductance at lower concentrations, causing hyperpolarization
Describe the direct action of anesthetics on the GABA receptor?
Function as direct AGONISTS, causing opening of the chloride channel, and thus hyperpolarization

Midazolam
For etomide, what is its relative induction and recovery time?
What is its mechanism of action?
Fast onset and fast recovery

Enhance the efficacy of GABA at the GABAa chloride ionophore
What is the potential adverse effect of etomide?
Excitatory effects during induction and recovery.
ADRENAL CORTICAL SUPRESSION
For ketamin what is its relative induction and recovery time?
What is the mechanism of action?
SLOW onset and recovery

Acts as a glutamate antagonist, binding noncompetatively to the NMDA receptor site to inhibit the excitatory NT glutamate
What is the potential adverse side effect of ketamin?
Psychomimetic effects, nasuea, vomiting, and salivation.
For propofol what is its relative induction and recovery time?
What is the mechanism of action?
Fast onset, fast recovery

Enhance the efficacy of GABA at the GABAa chloride ionophore
What is the potential adverse side effect of propofol?
Cardiovascular and respiratory supression
What is the recovery/induction time for midazolam?
What is the mechanism of action?
SLOWEST ONSET OF ALL AGENTS

Enhance the efficacy of GABA at the GABAa chloride ionophore
What is a potential side effect of midazolam?
MINIMAL CV and Resp effects
Of the IV anesthetics, which one has Analgesic properties?
Ketamine
Of the IV anesthetics, which one has an antiemetic effect?
Propofol
Of the IV anesthetics, which one produces adrenal cortical supression?
Etomidate
Of the IV anesthetics, which one has bronchodilatory effects?
Ketamine
Of the IV anesthetics, which one has a high likelyhood of producing Post operative Nasuea and Vomiting?
Ketamine
Of the IV anesthetics, which one has a high likelyhood of producing myoclonic movements during induction or emergence?
Etomidate
Of the inhaled anesthetics, which one is hepatotoxic?
Halothane
What drug will produce dissaciative anesthesia?
Ketamine.
It will put the patient in a trance, but not knock them out. It will also stimulate the CV system

Recovery Time:
Extent of Metabolism:
Heart Rate effect:
Respiratory Irratation:
Recovery Time:Moderate
Extent of Metabolism:0.2%
Heart Rate effect:INCREASE HR
Respiratory Irratation:SIGNIFICANT
For desflurane, what is the
Recovery Time:
Extent of Metabolism:
Heart Rate effect:
Respiratory Irratation:
Recovery Time: VERY FAST
Extent of Metabolism: 0.02%
Heart Rate effect: INCREASED
Respiratory Irratation: SIGNIFICANT
For Sevoflurane, what is the
Recovery Time:
Extent of Metabolism:
Heart Rate effect:
Respiratory Irratation:
Recovery Time: Fast
Extent of Metabolism: 3-6%
Heart Rate effect: STABLE
Respiratory Irratation: NONE
Which inhaled anesthetic/s is most likely to produce emergence delerium in children?
Desflurane and Sevoflurane
What substance of abuse if Ketamine related to?
PCP's
What is the most commonly used induction agent?
PRopofol (Diprivan = MJ's drug)
Why does propofol have a brief duration of CNS effects?
Rapid redistribution and clearence from plasma by metabolism (glucoronidation)
Considered safe for preggo, but does have cardiorespiratory depression effects
Aside for supression of adrenal cortical function, what does Etomidate do that can help with intracranial pressure?
Direct cerebral vasoconstriction
Why can low T.I. inhaled anesthetics be used to safely produce anesthesia?
They have a high degree of potency which allows them to anestasize at low concentration
