193
Q

Lungs’ factors influencing uptake/distribution (6 items):

A

-ventilation (volume)
-concentration
-blood gas solubility of drug
-V/Q problems (decrease admin rate esp. for LOW blood/gas soluble drugs)
-2nd gas effect (pulls slower anesthetics in faster)
-N20 diffusion into closed spaces (can cause expansion issues)

194
Q

Blood’s factor influencing uptake/distribution:

A

cardiac output (decreased rate of administration especially for HIGH blood/gas soluble drugs)

195
Q

Tissues’ factors influencing uptake/distribution 7 items:

A

-oil/gas solubility (high coefficient, slow in/slow out and vice versa)
-metabolism
-diffusion hypoxia (N20 must be washed out with 100% O2)
-pediatrics (need higher dose and affects them longer)
-pregnancy (high CO and high MV[minute vent] cancel each other out=unpregnant person during induction)
-obesity (no change in induction but more lipid mass so anesthetic stays in longer/longer to wake)
-hypothermia (faster induction from decreased MAC)

196
Q

A

minimum alveolar concentration required to achieve surgical anesthesia in 50% of patients exposed to noxious stimuli

197

207
Q

How ventilation influences uptake/distribution

A

ventilation rate increases, the Fa/Fi ratio which increases more rapidly
-faster you breathe faster you go to sleep

208
Q

A

higher the flow, faster gas admin; lower the flow, slower gas admin
-usually 1-2 mins for gas to get thru circuit

209
Q

How absorption into plastic influences uptake/distribution:

A

gas can absorb into circuit tube/ machine
-VERY bad for people at high risk for to MH bc volatile anesthetics trigger MH, must do a complete washout of machine/tubes

210
Q

How alveolar concentration influences uptake/distribution:

A

higher the dose (more you give) the faster it works
-Fa/Fi is how fast gas rises into lungs to reach inspired gas level

211
Q

How blood/gas solubility of drug influences uptake/distribution:

A

lower the coefficient= faster anesthetic rises in lungs; faster induction + emergence
higher the coefficient= slower anesthetic rises in lungs; slower induction + emergence

212
Q

How V/Q deficits influence uptake/distribution: which drugs are effected most?(3)

A

less than normal lungs go to sleep slower than normal lungs
-there is a decrease in onset rate especially for LOW blood/gas coefficient or more INSOLUBLE drugs-N2O, SEVO, DES
-sports care slows down much faster than old beater can

213
Q

How 2nd gas effect influences uptake/distribution:

A

using N20 at a high concentration with another gas briefly to RAPIDLY produce effects quicker than either by themselves
-N20 is low solubility and not very potent when given with agent with higher solubility works very quickly

214
Q

Implementing 2nd gas effects violate _ ‘s Law of partial pressure.

A

Dalton’s; gases aren’t working independently

215
Q

How N20 Diffusion influences uptake/distribution:

A

N20 expands closed gas spaces due to difference in solubility of nitrogen it replaces and its high concentration that is required
-pressure changes at a rate dependent on perfusion of tissue around it and compliance of space it’s in

216
Q

N20 Diffusion is contraindicated in bowel obstruction because:

A

risks perforation from obstruction blocking bowel

217
Q

retinal detachment repair

223

20 body mass

227
Q

Vessel Poor group % consumption of CO and % body mass (bone, tendons, cartilage)

A

0% of CO
20% body mass

228
Q

How oil/gas solubility influences uptake/distribution:

A

describes potency; if highly potent it is slow to go in, slow to come out; halothane most potent, N20 least
-high OG solubility = more potent
-low OG solubility = less potent

229
Q

How metabolism influences uptake/distribution:

A

certain drugs have different amounts of metabolites that are toxic so we limit those in high amounts
-sevoflurane most toxic (5-7%), N20 is the least with trace toxins

230
Q

How diffusion hypoxia influences uptake/distribution:

A

opposite of 2nd gas effect; N20 leaves body so fast floods lungs and dilutes other gases including O2
-we give 100% O2 at end of case for ~5 mins to wash out N20 and prevent displacement of O2

231
Q

How pediatrics influences uptake/distribution:

A

kids need higher doses but it lasts longer in them
-have factors that WOULD make onset slower but kids’ increased minute ventilation overrides the other factors

232
Q

How pregnancy influences uptake/distribution:

A

high CO and high MV[minute vent] cancel each other out so onset is like nonpregnant person

233
Q

How obesity influences uptake/distribution:

A

no change in induction but more lipid mass so anesthetic stays in longer/longer to wake
-longer case the longer it takes to wake bc more soluble with adipose

234
Q

How hypothermia influences uptake/distribution:

A

decreased MAC of anesthetic from low temp requires less to fall asleep but will take longer due to decreased metabolism
-wake up more slowly from poor circulation and vasoconstriction

235
