IA #2 Flashcards
Which circuit leads to rebreathing?
Bain. There is no absorbent
Which gas delivery system leads to no rebreathing?
BVM (has expiratory valve)
What can be added to bain circuit?
ETCO2, PEEP
Does Bain circuit have an APL valve?
Yes
What is the Bain circuit mostly used for?
Tx out of OR
What is the pop off valve of the Ambu?
built in pressure relief valve
What is the path air takes in the circle system?
Picture
If the APL valve is open the air goes into the _
Bag
If the APL valve is close the air goes into the
ventilator
High fresh gas flow with inhalation anesthesia means that the FGF exceeds the __
Minute ventilation.
Rebreathing is prevented with high or low FGF?
High
Do we make rapid changes in anesthetic with high or low FGF?
high
What are the good things about using high FGF with inhalation anesthesia?
Pt will go to sleep faster, prevents rebreathing
What are the cons of using high FGF?
Wasteful in the anesthetic, cooling
What does it mean to give low-flow inhalation anesthesia? What are th pros and cons?
The FGF is lower than the minute ventilation. Rebreathing will occur. There is less wastefulness and less cooling of the airway
Very slow changes in the anesthetic
Compound A production!
How do we charge for the volitiles?
In volume per hour
What are the colors associated with Sevo, Des, Iso, and Enflurane?
Yellow, Blue, Purple, Orange
Bronchodilation occurs with all of the IA at a MAC of _. What happens if the pt has baseline inflammatory process going on?
> 2
Will not have a bronchodilating effect.
Which IA is the best for causing bronchodilation? Second best?
Halothane
Sevo
Which IA may worsen pulmonary irritation?
Des because very pungent
How do IA cause bronchodilation?
Blocking Ca channels therefore Ca cannot get through to cause contraction of the smooth muscle
Which IA causes the most and least airway resistance?
Most: Des
Least: Sevo
IA cause dose dependent NM relaxation by enhancing _ and inhibiting _
glycine
glutamate
Does NO cause muscle relaxation?
No
What effect do IA have on NMB?
Enhance their effect! They already cause immobility so makes sense you would need less of these
Ischemic reconditioning of the heart happens at __ MAC
0.25
Ischemic preconditioning is mediated by adenosine. There is an increase in PKC activity and phosphorylation of ___. Increased production of ____.
ATP sensitive K channels
Reactive oxygen species
IA help to decrease ___ injury (heart)
Reprofusion
What do IA do to CMRO2? What MAC?
Decrease it. MAC 0.4
At what MAC does burst suppression happen? Electrical silence?
1.5
2
Which IA have anticonvulsant properties? Pro-convulsant?
Iso Des Sevo
Enflurane
Activity of IA r/t sz’s happens at high doses and ____ CO2
decreased
What effects do IA have on SSEP and MEP? At what MAC?
Decreased amplitude and increased latency
0.5
*So do not use more than 0.5 volitile MAC. Can combine with 1/2 MAC NO
What changes are seen in CBF with IA? At what MAC? Which gas causes biggest increase? Which gas causes smallest increase (b/c decreased vasodilatory effects).
Increased.
0.6.
Halothane
Sevoflurane
Autoregulation of CBF to maintain normal ICP is maintained with BP ranges 60-160. What do Sevo and Des, Iso do this?
Sevo maintains the response until 1 MAC
The others maintain it until 0.5 MAC
Sevo is best :)
