enflurane
what occurs when sevoflurane degredates in the presence of a strong base (such as CO2 absorbants)
it forms compound A and trace amts of compund B
the degredation reaction of sevoflurane occurs when
with direct contact with soda lime or baralyme (CO2 absorbants)
the formation of the degredation product sevoflurane is caused by what
compound A an alkene is formed by the extraction of the acidic proton in the presence of a strong base (KOH)
what is the formation of the degredation product of sevoflurane similar to with another inhalation agents reaction product
similar to the reaction that halthane has with CO2 absorbants
the degree of degredation of sevofluane increases with what
increasing temperature
regarding degredation reaction of sevoflurane rxn of Co2 with absorbents is endothermic or exothermic

regarding degredation reaction of sevoflurane which type of absorbents produce more heat
dry or fresh absorbents
high flow rates do what to the production of compund A
decrease the production by reducing re-breathing
what flows are recommended with sevoflurane
flows less than 2 are NOT recommended b/c of production of compound A

(need flows greater than 2 with sevo)
what affect does metabolic status of the patient have with sevoflurane
varies the amt of production of compound A
ventilation will affect the production of compound A how
resp acidois will increase CO2 & this would increase the temp of the CO2 absorbent therefore increasing production of compound A
does the concentration of sevoflurane affect compound A production
YES
high concentrations compound A does what to rats
renal injury and death
when were renal injury and death noted with compound A
when levels reached 25 to 50 ppm or greater
there are cases of humans with what type of organ change after administration of sevoflurane
renal
organ change occured in humans under what condtions
renal change occured under conditions of prolonged exposure

-they were dose and time dependent
what may not be sensitive enough markers to demonstrate renal dysfunction when looking at compound A effects
BUN and creatnine serum markers
what is the most important factor regarding control of compound A
inspired fresh gas flow
total exposure of compound A is a product of what
concentration and time
with sevoflurane is there significant clinical renal toxicity
NO
what is important to remember about flows when using sevoflurane
DON'T drop flows below 2 l/min secondary to compound A
what pre-existing condition should sevoflurane be AVOIDED in
renal dz

(choose iso or des over sevo)
what is the relationship between sevoflurane and CBF
it has the LOWEST increase in CBF
in 1 MAC concentrations of sevoflurane how much did sevoflurane change CBF and CMR
*decreased CBF by 38%

*decreased CMR by 39%
what is the cranial vessel response to PaCo2 with sevoflurane
it remains INTACT
what can be done with sevoflurane if you are doing a craniotomy and see brain protrusion
can hyperventilate and decrease ICP
what GENERAL effect does sevoflurane have on the cardiovascular system
dose related depression
what effect does sevoflurane have on BP
dose related decrease
what effect does sevoflurane have on HR
*decreased up to 1 MAC

*increase in HR ar 1.5 MAC
what is the effect of epi on sevoflurane
epi induced arrythmogenic effect is equal to isoflurane
is the baroreceptor reflex intact with sevoflurane
YES
if you have a rapid increase in MAC with desflurane what occurs with SNS, HR and MAP
an abrupt increase
if you have a rapid increase in MAC with sevoflurane what occurs with SNS, HR and MAP
*very level SNS

*slight decrease in MAP and even HR
what GENERAL effect does sevoflurane have on the respiratory system
a dose related depression
what effect does sevoflurane have on PaCo2
it is increased
what effect does sevoflurane have as a bronchodilator
it is the BEST bronchdilator of the IA
what effect does sevoflurane have on NMB
potentiates neuromuscular blockers
with sevoflurane dosage of muscle relaxant should be guided by what
peripheral nerve stimulator
what type of inhalation agents are better potentiators of NMB
ones with lower blood gas solubility coeffients
does sevoflurane have a cross sensitivity with halothane
NO

-it is the agent of choice with halothane hepatitis hx
