Anesthetics Flashcards
Lidocaine MOA ?
Inhibits Na ion channels, stabilizing neuronal cell membranes and inhibiting nerve impulse initiation and conduction (amide local anesthetic)
Lidocaine BBW ?
dose-related toxicity
Lidocaine contraindications ?
Infection at injection site
Obstetrical paracervical block
Obstetrical anesthesia (0.75% INJ form)
IV regional anesthesia
Intra-articular continuous infusion
Lidocaine Major Adverse reactions ?
CNS toxicity
myocardial depression
seizures
unconsciousness
respiratory arrest
Lidocaine common adverse reactions ?
hypotension
nausea/vomiting
paresthesia
pain, non-specific
bradycardia
Lidocaine Indications ?
Local
Regional
Spinal
anesthesia
Most lidocaines for SC anesthetics offer with ?
epinephrine
The addition of EPI creates ? and is great for ?
Creates local vasoconstriction (decreases bleeding)
Great for scalp, face (except nose)
Avoid epinephrine if what is involved ?
Fingers
Nose
Penis
Toes
Low blood flow areas
** topical nitro on top of the finger if you accidentally give epi in finger
Inhalational anesthetics inhalation examples ?
Sevoflurane
Isoflurane
**sedation, pain control and paralysis ( they meet all the criteria) no other class do all three, only the inhalations do all three
lower the # the more potent it is
**
Sevoflurane MOA ?
alters neuronal ion channels such as GABA, glutamate, and glycine receptors, resulting in decreased tissue excitability
**Benzos also hit GABA
glutamate - stimulating NT , paralysis **
Sevoflurane BBW ?
NONE
Sevoflurane contraindications ?
Malignant hyperthermia hx.
Sevoflurane pregnancy category ?
B
Lidocaine pregnancy category ?
C
Sevoflurane major adverse reactions ?
malignant hyperthermia
apnea
hyperkalemia
arrhythmias
seizures
hepatotoxicity
ICP incr.
Sevoflurane major DRUG reactions ?
thioridazine - antipsychotic
dronedarone
cisapride
saquinavir
toremifene
Sevoflurane common adverse reactions ?
agitation
cough
hypotension
laryngospasm
breath holding
nausea/vomiting
Sevoflurane indications ?
general anesthesia induction
general anesthesia maintenance
Sevoflurane monitoring ?
ECG
end-tidal CO2
end-tidal sevoflurane
concentration
oxygen saturation
vital signs continuously
Propofol aka ?
Diprivan
Propofol MOA ?
induces hypnosis
**meaning sedation, does not help with pain and it does not paralyses folks **
Propofol BBW ?
none
Propofol pregnancy category ?
B
