Reticular Activating System (RAS)

3
Q

Barbiturates:Thiopental

has what 2 actions

A

anticonvulsant

Amnestic

4
Q

Barbiturates:Thiopental

what can occur in small doses

5
Q

Barbiturates:Thiopental

does what to respiratory system

A

depresses it

6
Q

Barbiturates:Thiopental

does what to myocardial contractility

A

depresses it.- decreases SV, CO, Arterial BP

7
Q

Barbiturates:Thiopental

does what to HR

A

Increases it

8
Q

Barbiturates:Thiopental

does what to cerebral vascular resistance? what does that mean?

A

increases CVR

hence decreases cerebral blood flow and ICP

9

Barbiturates:Thiopental

contraintidated in what pts?

A

porphoria (a neuro dz caused by inadequate porphyrin metabolism)

10

hiccups

myoclonus

12

which causes a bigger drop in BP prop or thiopental

A

prop

14
Q

Propofol:

which has bigger respiratory depression prop or thiopental

A

prop

15
Q

Propofol:

has antiemetic effects b/c it works where

A

Chemorecptor trigger zone (CRTZ)

16
Q

Propofol:

does it have antipruritic effects?

A

yes

17
Q

Propofol:

GABA are what?

A

the brains major inhibitory transmitter

Hypnotic
anticonvulsant
25
Q

benzodiazepines:

what CV effects

A

none unless pt is volume depleted then maybe hypotension

26
Q

benzodiazepines:

does what to brain

A

cerebral vasoconstriction- lowers CBF and ICP

27
Q

Ketamine:

produces anmesia and profound analgesia by interacting with what receptor

A

NMDA

28
Q

Ketamine:

Does what to cerebral vasculature

A

Dilates it

so CBF increases and ICP increases

29

increases it

30
Q

Ketamine:

does what to eyes and tone

A

hypertonus and nystagmus

31
Q

Ketamine:

what does it do to CV

A

Stimulates the SNS which promotes CV enhancement- increased HR, CO, and BP

cerebral vasoconstricor

decreased CBF and ICP

40
