Most important sedative-hypnotics
Benodiazepines
Benzodiazepines MOA
Enhance inhibitory activity of GABA by binding to benzodiazpines site on receptor
Use of Benzodiazepines
antianxiety
anticonvulsants
sedation/anesthesia
hypnotic
muscle relaxation
Benzodiazepines adverse effects
Relatively few
Tolerance and Cross tolerance
Abuse potential
Addictive effects with other sedatives

Propofol
sedative-hypnotics, nonbenzo
MOA: facilitates GABA mediated inhibiton @ GABA receptors, directly activate GABA receptors
This drug is used as an IV anesthetic for conscious sedation for day surgery and critical care
Propofol
Side effects of Propofol
hypotension, negative intrope
