|
MAC & Blood/gas coefficient
|
MAC -> minimum alveolar concentration; lower is more potent
Blood/gas coefficient; higher is more potent |
|
|
Longer acting
|
In order of increasing MAC/decreasing potency
-Halothane; malignant hyperthermia, hepatitis (20% metabolized in the liver) -Enfulrane; increased risk of seizures, lower hepatitis risk (2% metabolized in the liver) -Isofulrane; hepatitis risk almost 0 (.2% metabolized in the liver) |
|
|
Short acting
|
Sevoflurane (blood/gas= .59) - kidney damage possible; reacts with C02 absorbants
Desflurane (blood/gas= .42) - very resistant to C02 absorbants |
|
|
NMDA Antagonist
|
Nitiric oxide; sympathomimetic effects
