Lect 5 Flashcards
Minimal sedation
Anxiolysis
Minimal sedation is
Responsive to verbal stimulation
Airway, spontaneous ventilation and CV function unaffected
Moderate Sedation
Conscious sedation
Moderate sedation is
Purposefully responsive to verbal or tactile stimulus
Airway intervention not required-adequate spontaneous ventilation
CV function usually maintenaned and monitored
GDs cannot purposely put people into moderate sedation
Deep Sedation
Purposefully responsive after repeated or painful stimulus
Airway intervention may be required
CV function usually maintained
General anesthesia
Unarousable even with painful stimulus
Airway intervention often required
CV function may be impaired
GA ideal anesthetic
Sedation/Anxiolysis
Amnesia
Muscle relax and reflexes suppressed
Analgesia
Balanced anesthesia
No single ideal anesthetic exist
Optimal situation combining:
Preoperative meds, IV + inhaled anesthetics
Stage I
Induction
Analgesia
Pupils: Normal size react to light
Normal respiration and HR
Stage II
Excitement delirium
Pupils: Dilated disconjugated
RR Rapid irregular
HR tachycardia
Laryngospasm, vomit/retch
Stage III
Surgical anesthesia
Pupils constricted
Respiration and HR normal
4 planes
Stage IV
Medullary paralysis, death
Pupils fixed dilation
Apnea
Profound bradycardia
