IV induction/Neuro monitoring/Inhalation hx/volatiles Flashcards
(507 cards)
what are examples of adjunct medications to primary anesthetics
antihistamines
antipsychotics
benzodiazipines
opioids
what is balanced anesthesia
premedication
light sedation
regional anesthesia
what is general anesthesia
balance of unconsciousness, analgesia, amnesia, suppression of stress response, immobility
-unarousable complete loss of consciousness
-inability to maintain airway control
-loss of eyelid reflex
what pathway do the majority of IV inductions agents on on
excitement of inhibitory signals through the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA) receptors
what are MOA theories
-membrane protein binding sites
-alter signaling between neurons (charges)
-GABA: ligand gated ion channels
what receptors does ketamine work on
NMDA
receptors contain multiple
subunits
what is the primary binding site on GABA, what is the effect
GABA 2, hyper polarization
GABA is an ______ neurotransmitter
inhibitory
what are examples of excitatory neurotransmitters
acetylcholine
glutamate
what are examples of secondary IV induction agents
Antihistamines
antipsychotics
benzodiazepines
opioids
what is general anesthesia
A balance of unconsciousness, analgesia, amnesia, suppression of the stress
response, and sufficient immobility
T/F general anesthesia results in an unarousable state and complete loss of consciousness
True
T/F general anesthesia results in an inability to maintain airway or controll reflexes
true
T/F general anesthesia results in the loss of eyelid reflexes
true
what are the MOA theories for IV induction agents
-membrane protein binding sites
-altering signaling between neurons by altering ion channels
-GABA receptors
where do the majority of IV induction agents act (receptor)
enhancement of inhibitory signals through the gamma-aminobutyric
acid type A (GABA) receptors
what system do most IV induction agents have their action on
reticular activating system in brainstem
what does the reticular activating system control
consciousness
what controls the signals coming into the reticular activating system? where does it send the message
thalamus
cerebral cortex
what neurotransmitter does the reticular activating system use
acetycholine
what kind of feedback mechanism does the reticular activating system use
positive feedback
what are examples of excitatory neurotransmitters
acetylcholine
dopamine
norepinephrine
glutamate
what are examples of inhibitory neurotransmitters
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)
