Inhalation 2 Flashcards
(137 cards)
Mechanism of action : Meyer-Overton Theory (Critical Volume Hypothesis
States that there is a correlation between lipid
solubility on inhaled anesthetics and MAC
Meyer-Overton Theory (Critical Volume
Hypothesis ANESTHESIA occur when
Anesthesia occurs when a sufficient number of
molecules dissolve in lipid cell membranes which changes the shape of the membrane
Meyer-Overton Theory: Expansion of cell membranes by dissolved
anesthetic could distort channels necessary for ion
flux, and a subsequent effect on the development
of action potentials necessary for synaptic
transmission to occur.
Mechanism of action (Protein
Receptor Hypothesis)
Evidence for protein receptors in the central nervous system as a site and mechanism of action of inhaled anesthetics is suggested by the steep dose response curve (MAC) of inhaled anesthetics (crucial degree of
receptor occupancy)
Another theory About GABA
Volatile anesthetics and injected anesthetics may activate GABAA channels (preventing the release of neurotransmitters) and inhibit glutamate channels.
Volatile anesthetics are
Halogenated methyl ethyl ETHER derivaties.
Volatile anesthetics that is not an ETHER? what is it?
Halothane, halogenated alkane derivative
In which gas is fluorine the only halogen present
Desflurane
Blood solubility of Desflurane , and VP and metabolism
low, high vapor pressure ; low metabolism
What contributes to the RAPID onset of PA and recovery from NO, Des and Sevo
LOW BLOOD/GAS solubility
EEG, as the dose of anesthetic approaches ___MAC, the frequency on the EEG_______
1 ; Decreases
Administration of concentrations of ______MAC produce dose depended increases in
0.6; CBF
CBF effects of Volatile from HIGHEST to LOWEST
HEIDS
Halothane–> ENFLURANE–> ISOFLURANE –> DESFLURANE–> SEVO
Does NO increase CBF?
Yes
Do inhaled anesthetics alter the RESPONSIVENESS of the CEREBRAL CIRCULATION to changes in PaO2?
No
The greater decrease in CMRO2 requirements in produced by
ISOFLURANE
Inhaled that alters the GLOBAL CEREBRAL OXYGEN supply-demand balance
ISOFLURANE
May have cerebral protecting EFFECT
ISOFLURANE
Inhaled anesthetics and ICP
increases ICP parallels the CBF
What patients are most vulnerable in increase in ICP?
Patients with space-occupying intracranial lesions.
CSF production is increased by which inhaled anesthetic?
ENFLURANE
Conscious memory is suppressed by
Volatile anesthetics
Conscious memory suppressed by _____MAC Isoflurane
0.45
Conscious memory suppressed by _____MAC NO
0.60
