(directly related)
2) Solubility in LIPIDS tells me:

b. Minimum Alveolar Concentration (MAC)
(inversely related)
If Halothane is highly soluble in lipids & therefore goes into tissues quickly, is the induction time fast or slow?

What are the significant CV features of Ketamine that makes it indicated in certain pt's?
"Increased cerebral blood flow
Stimulates the heart --> increased cardiac output
What is the c/u for Ketamine? Why?
Anesthesia for pt's in heart trouble b/c it increases cardiac output
Neonate infant with a large VSD: in terms of anesthesia, what is your concern?
You don't want to decrease the pt's cardiac output

What is a unique feature of Ketamine that permits its use as an anesthetic?

What is the c/u for Succinylcholine?
Depolarizing muscular blockade
How is Phase I of depolaring muscular blockade reversed? Why?
It CAN'T be reversed b/c post synaptic membranes are "stuck in" depolarization
Why can't Phase II of depolarizing muscular blockade be reveresed? Explain.
It CAN be reversed with the use of ChEI's!
In regards to reversal of depolarizing muscular blockade, what is the difference between Phase I and Phase II?
"Phase I is CAN'T be reversed: it is depolarized (only)
Phase II CAN be reveresed: it is repolarized, but "blocked"
What effects does increased ACh have on Phase I of depolarizing muscular blockade? Why?
"It potentiates the blockade; The membrane potential is "stuck" in the "depolarized" state (positive membrane potential) and therefore additional action potentials are "blocked" --> If Neostigmine is given, ACh "knocks off" SCh b/c it has a higher receptor affinity; this prevents anything else from binding to the post-synaptic receptors and maintains the positive membrane potential for longer, thereby POTENTIATING the blockade
What effects does increased ACh have on Phase I of depolarizing muscular blockade? Why?
"The membrane potential is ""repolarized"" (negative membrane potential), however, SCh is ""sitting on"" the post-synaptic recpetors, thereby ""blocking"" any additonal action potentials; If Neostigmine is given, ACh ""knocks off"" SCh b/c it has a higher receptor affinity; this stimulates the post-synaptic receptors and an action potential ensues, thereby REVERSING the blockade
What are the Non-Depolarizing muscular blockers?
"Just be able to recognize:
"-accurines"
"-accuriums"
What Non-Depolarizing muscular blocker should be used in a pt with Renal Failure?
Rocuronium
What Non-Depolarizing muscular blocker should be used in a pt with Renal Failure & Hepatic Failure? Why?
"Atracurium b/c spontaneously degenerates in the blood, therefore it is neither renally nor hepatically excreted
How is anasthesia managed in a pt with infected tissue that requires "stitching"?
1) Give epinephrine "proximal" to the wound: Epinephrine --> vasoconstriction which keeps it local
2) Give local anesthetic at a higher dose than if it were non-infected: infections cause the area to be more "acidic", which decreases its potency, therefore a higher dose must be given
What is the order of analgesia in nerve fiber blockade?
1st: small fibers --> large fibers
2nd: unmyelinated --> myelinated (insulated)*

*Signals travel "faster" on myelinated nerve fibers, however, anesthesia takes "longer" on myelinated nerve fibers because, electricity can "jump", sensation cannot (it takes time for the anesthetic agents to get through the myelination/insulation)
What is the order of blockade in nerve fiber blockade by size AND myelination?
1st: small unmyelinated
2nd: small myelinated
3rd: large myelinated (last)
4th: none*

*The last nerve blocked is large myelinated nerves;
Large unmyelinated nerve fibers DO NOT EXIST in the body --> therefore large unmyelinated will be a WRONG answer (ALWAYS eliminate it immediately!)
What is the order of analgesia in nerve fiber blockade by sensation type?
1st: Pain
2nd: Temperature
3rd: Touch
4th: Pressure (last)
