General Principles of anesthetics
for drugs to work on cns they must either be lipid soluble or transported

drugs with low blood solubility have rapid induction/recovery times

drugs with high lipid solubiliy have increased potency

potency = 1/MAC (min alv concentration)
Inhaled Anesthetics
halothane, Nitrous Oxide, "fluranes"

work by unknown mech

cause myocardial depression, resp depression, nausea/emesis, increased cerebral blood flow (lower cerebral metabolic demand)

can rarely cause malignany hyperthermia

Order of sensation loss in local anesthetic use
pain->temp->touch->pressure
Characteristics of local anesthetics on different nerve types
works better on small diameter and myelinated fibers

but small outweighs myelination
