Exam 1 Kane Flashcards
(360 cards)
A drug induced loss of consciousness during which pts are not arousable, even by painful stimulation.
General Anesthesia
A medication that includes more than one enantiomer
racemic
Agents with chiral molecules that are mirror images of each other are known as
enantiomers
An agent that activates a specific molecule in a biologic system
Agonist
Half-life is known as the amt of time to clear ½ of drug from the
body
Describe Minimal Sedation
anxiolysis; normal response to verbal commands, airway unaffected, ventilation unaffected, cardiac unaffected
Describe Moderate Sedation
Drug-induced depression of consciousness but respond to tactile stimulation, no assistance needed for airway, adequate ventilation, cardiac usually maintained
Describe Deep Sedation
Stimulation after repeated verbal/touch, Independent ventilation may be impaired; assistance for airway may be required, cardiac usually maintained,
Describe allodynia
Due to a Stimulus that does not normally cause pain
The term that describes Increased pain perception from a stimulus that normally provokes pain
Hyperalgesia
Increased transduction/transmission of nociception; the process that causes hyperalgesia or allodynia
sensitization
Pain caused by a lesion or disease of somatosensory nervous system ; Characterized by reduced sensory and nociceptive thresholds
Neuropathic Pain
Pain transmitted to brain through spinal or cranial nerves
Somatic Pain
Pain transmitted to brain through autonomic nerves (internal organs)
visceral pain
Pain in the distribution of a nerve or group of nerves
neuralgia pain
An agent that activates/inhibits the action of a specific molecule but doesn’t form a permanent bond; other agents may also affect the same site
competitive
Competitive or noncompetitive agent that activates or inhibits the action of a neurotransmitter but does not function at the binding site
Indirect agent
Two agents administered at the same time who potentiate each other 1+1=3
Synergistic
Agents that activates a specific molecule but does not act at the SAME binding site as the neurotransmitter in question
Allosteric
Acquired hyporeactivity to an agent
Tolerance
An agent that activates or inhibits a specific molecule and forms a strong or permanent bond so that the other agents may not affect the same site
Non-competitive
Competitive or non-competitive agent that activates or inhibits the action of a molecule at the same site of action
Direct agent
Acquire hyporeactivity to an agent that occurs very rapidly
Tachyphylaxis
Two agents administered at the same time where the total response in the same as the response of one added to the other: 1+1=2
Additive
