Study These Flashcards
A

the brains major inhibitory transmitter

22
Q

benzodiazepines:

name 3 short acting benzos

Study These Flashcards
A

Diazepam (valium)
Lorazepam (ativan)
Midazolam (versed)

23
Q

benzodiazepines:

do they produce analgesia?

24
Q

benzodiazepines:

name 5 CNS effects

Study These Flashcards
A 
Antianxiety
Amnestic
Sedative
Hypnotic
anticonvulsant
25
benzodiazepines: | what CV effects
none unless pt is volume depleted then maybe hypotension
26
benzodiazepines: | does what to brain
cerebral vasoconstriction- lowers CBF and ICP
27
Ketamine: | produces anmesia and profound analgesia by interacting with what receptor
NMDA
28
Ketamine: | Does what to cerebral vasculature
Dilates it | so CBF increases and ICP increases
29
Ketamine: | does what to cerebral metabolism
increases it
30
Ketamine: | does what to eyes and tone
hypertonus and nystagmus
31
Ketamine: | what does it do to CV
Stimulates the SNS which promotes CV enhancement- increased HR, CO, and BP
32
Ketamine: | what pts are good canidates
trauma | elderly
33
Ketamine: | avoid in what pts
CAD Glaucoma Increased ICP
34
Ketamine: | emergence can be horrible explain to bad side effects
bad dreams Hallucinations n/v
35
Opioids: | why is morphine rarely used for anesthesia
histamine release
36
Opioids: | do what to respiratory system
depress it
37
Opioids: | are they cardiac stable
yep
38
Opioids: | can they produce treacle rigidity
yep
39
Opioids: | what do they do to cerebral blood flow
cerebral vasoconstricor | decreased CBF and ICP
40
Opioids: | why do they cause nausea
stimulate CRTZ
41
Opioids: | how do synthetic opioids cause bradycardia
stimulate the vagal nerve
42
Opioids: | if it caused sphincter of do spasm what can be given to relax it
glucagon 1-2mg
43
Etomidate: | cv effects
minimal
44
Etomidate: | how our it's analgesic and amnestic properties
poor
45
Etomidate: | does what to CBF and ICP
decreases it
46
Etomidate: | what should you look for on injection
pain
47
Etomidate: | what can it cause and how in pts with catecholamine depletion
adrenal cortical suppression | directly depresses cortisol output from the adrenal cortex
48
Etomidate: | does what to the immune system
depresses it
49
the CNS effects after bolus of an IV anesthestic are terminated primarily how
redistribution
