General anesthesia

amnesia, immovility to noxious stimuli, analgesia, unconsciousness, attenuation of autonomic responses to noxious stim

Diethyl Ether

relatively safe, flammable, prolonged induction, delayed emergence, N/V high rate

Chloroform

associate w/ unexplained intraop deaths, hepatotoxicity

Ethylene



Divinyl ether-variation of ether

-Cycloproane toxicity,


- faster/more pleasant induction/faster awakening compared to older anesthetics


-HIGHLY FLAMMABLE & TOXIC

Modern Inhalents


-2 types

Halogenated hydrocarbons-volatile -transition from L to G at room temp


Halogenated partly/entirely w/ fluorine


-greater stability(less flammable) less toxic

Halogenated hydrocarbons


-n20 not halogenated hydro-

anesthetic vapor delivered by variable bypaass vapes- calibrated to vape pressure of each drug

perfect inhalent

non flammable, easily vaporized, potent, low solubilty, minimal metabolism, nonarrhythmogenic compatible with epi, provides skelatol muscle relaxation

3 stages of anesthesia

intoxication, excitement, narcosis

Stage 1 analgesia

slow regular breathing- with the diaphragm w/ intercostal muscles


-presence of the lid reflex


Complete amnesia, analgesia, & sedation

Stage 2 -delerium

excitement, unconscousness, dream state(uninhibited activity)


-Ventilation: irregular/unpredictable


Reflex dilation of pupils- lid reflex intact


Risk w/ reflex activity ^(vomit, laryngospasm, arrhythmias)


stage 3 - surgical anesthesia


plane 1 & 2

plane 1- slight somatic relaxation, regular periodic breathing, active ocular muscles


Plane 2: breathing changes, inhalation< exhalation, slight pause seperates in/exhale, eyes become immobile

surgical anesthesia stage 3 & 4

plane 3: abdo muscles completely relax/ diaphragmatic breathing prominent, eyelid reflex absent


Plane 4: intercostal muscles completely parlalyzed, paradoxical rib cage movement, irregular breathing, dilated pupils

STAGE IV paralysis

muscles flaccid, eyes dilated, CV/ respiratory arrest, cardiovascular collapse

Signs of anestehsia

use of ether, cycloproane, chloroform


-small dose muscle relaxant- mask signs anesthesia except pupil size & lacrimation


-masked in straight inhalation induction-kids


-premed hastens passing through stage 2

ETHERS which ones?


Flourine replaces _________


ISO And enflurane

-all inhalational general anesthetics except N20 & halothane


-all other halogens


-nearly identical

Volatility

able to change L to G at low temp.


-must be vaporized before administered


-gas molecules create saturated vapor pressure


^ temp=^vapor pressure= ^volatility

volatility and BP


temperature? Altitude? low Bp?

temp at which Vp is = to atm pressure


high altitudes(low atm p) BP decreases


agents with low bP more like variations in barometric p.


-Desflurane lowest-boils at room temp(heated container)

MAC what is it?

minimum alveolar concentration: measure of inhalation anesthetic that prevents movement in response to surgical stimulation in 50% subjects


-varies per drug


1:MAC=50%


1.2 MAC=95% no move


1.3 MAMC 99% no move - additive

-can hyperpolarize neurons reduce excitability


-inhibit excitatory synapse /enhance inhib synap


inhibit presynaptic release and alter response of post synaptic receptors

anesthesia mechanisms-molecular


-GABA


CL- channels gated by inhibitory GabaA receptors> sensitive to halogenated inhalation agents


^ senstivity of GabaA receptor to Gaba>


nehanced inhib transmission/dep NS activity


-due to binding on GABAa reeceptor protein

molecular Glycine mechanism w/ anesthesia

glycine & neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine recepotors


-enhance capacity of glycine to activate glycine-gated Cl- channels(glycine receptors)


-role inhib transmission in brain/spinal cord


inhibit some nicotinic receptors> mediate analgesia/amnesia

N20/cyclopropane/xenon effects on gaba/glycine

no effects


selectively inhibit N-methyl-D-aspartate(NMDA) receptor> inhibit NMDA activated currents

Anesthesia and inhibition of CNS activity

global reduction in cerebral metabolic rate/cerebral blood flow


-suppress metab/excitability of thalamic neurons


-relay by which sensory input from periphery ascends to the cortex


-suppression of thalamic activity may act as switch btwn awake state


cerebral cortex suprresd b4 thalamus- cortical suppresion via corticothalamic fibers leads to thalamic suppresion>cortex

anesthesia affect on sleep/amnesia

inhalant agents with GabaA activity


-can^ inhib effects of ventrolateral preoptic(VLPO) nuclei> suppress consciousness
