A

false; slower gases

95
Q

what is the theory behind the MOA of the 2nd gas effect (using N20 and isoflurane as ex)

A

N2O moves faster in and out of alveoli than O2 or isoflurane –> N2O moves into alveoli, occupying space, then leaves, this leaves alveoli space void, thus making more room for inhalational agent –> filling quicker –> faster concentration –> faster diffusion

96

overpressuring and 2nd gas effect works well with ____________ INH agents, but have less effect on __________ INH agents

A

slow; fast

97

99
Q

what are the 3 ways you increase the onset/depth of the inhalational agent

A
  1. increase FGF (**best one for you pt) 2. increase Mv 3. turn dial up (increase concentration)
100
Q

circulatory factors to INH agents

A
  1. longer the agent is delivered –> greater perfusion to all body parts 2. higher the CO the faster the INH is carried away from the lungs (slows the rise of brain and lung concentration)
