HIde SEek
Halothane & Isoflurane (VP 243 & 240)
Sevoflurane & Enflurane (VP 160 & 173)
Due the similiarities of VP you can use the same Vaporizers
MAC Awake:
MAC BAR:
MAC Recall
.10 X MAC
1.7-2.0 MAC
0.3-0.5 MAC
MAC
Minimum alveolar concentration that prevents movement of 50% patients in response to certain stimulus

MAC is additive
Factors that increase MAC
younger age
chronic ETOH
anxiety
acute sympathetic increase (cocaine, ephedrine, amphetamines)
Hypermetabolic state (Thyroid & high Fever)
hyperthermia
hypernatremia
Factors that decrease MAC
old age (4-6%% decrease every decade after 40)
pregnancy
acute ETOH
hypothermi
hypoxia (PaO2 38mmHg), hypercarbia
sympathetic blockade
metabolic acidosis
Induced Hypotension (MAP<50mmHg)
Hyponatremia
Anemia < 4.3ml oxygen/dL blood
Uptake Equation (AGENT from lungs to blood)
Uptake = solubility coeifficient x cardiac output x (P alveoli- P venous)
hence increase solubility increase cardiac ouput and increase gradient between blood and alvoeli all increases uptake

Remember things that increase uptake decrease induction (FA/FI --> 1) since high uptake decreases FA
Induction (FAST)
Fast Fa/Fi --> 1 quickly
Fa proportional to PAlveoli= Pblood = Pbrain
Volatile Anesthetics (Speed of induction - decreasing order)
Nitrous Oxide --> Desflurane --> Sevoflurane --> Isoflurane ->Halothane
what factors increase induction
high ventilation
lower lipid solubility
decrease cardiac output (decrease alveolar blood flow)
decrease gradient (alveoli-blood)
what can you do speed recovery
increase FGF
High ventilation
high cerebral blood flow
low solubility (.42 desflurane)
diffusion hypoxia
During recovery N20 floods alveolus and dilutes the oxygen resulting in hypoxia
Volatile effects on CMR, ICP, Cerebral Spinal Fluid, Resorption, CBF, EEG
decrease CMR
increase ICP greater MAC 1
all produce dose-dependent effect on EEG, SEP, and MEP. VEP are more sensitive to Volatile Anesthetics than SEPs
Volatile (not nitrous oxide)
- All relax bronchial smooth muscle
- All decrease ventilatory response to hypercarbia and hypoxia
- all decrease minute ventilation
- decrease TV
- increase RR
- all but nitrous potentiate NDMR
- all but nitrous relax skeletal muscles
- all nitrous oxide triggers for MH
- halothane (greatest)
- desflurane (less)
-nitrous oxide (weak trigger)
the dangers of nitrous oxide
- irreversibly oxidizes Cobalt atom of B12 (decreasing the activity of vitamin B12 dependent enzymes like methionine synthase) affect myelin formation and result in neurological deterioration
-70% results in 50% inactivation of methionine synthase (accumulation of homocysteine)
- resulting in birth defects, blindness
-inhibits thymidylate synthase (involved in dna synthesis and repair) --> resulting teratogenicity and bone marrow depression taking 4 days to recover
- megoblastic anemia (interfere dna synthesis during red blood cell production)
- increase incidence of nausea
- flammable
- increase PVR (contraindicated with those with PHTN)
- 35X more soluble in blood than N2 - giving it the ability to diffuse into closed Air Spaces faster than Air ( PTX, venous air embolism, intracranial air, acute GI obstruction, intraocular air, tympanic membrane, blebs, bullae)
Volatile and Pregancy
Uterine Relaxation can be troubling a MAC above 1

use combination of low concentration of VA combined with nitrous oxide

Uterine Relaxation may be desired to remove retained placenta
National Institute for OSHA recommends
25 ppm for nitrous oxide
2 ppm for halogenated anesthetics
minimal cardiac depressant
isoflurane
sensitive to catcholamines
halothane
