blood solubility - less soluble = inc potency lipid solubility - more soluble = cross BBB inc potency MAC - amt needed for 50% people feel pain NO - low blood / low lipid solubility halothane - don't use, hepatotoxicity sevoflurane, desflurane - low blood, low lipid #1 used isoflurane - moderate blood and lipid solubilty

Question 42

``` IV anesthetics: GABA and opioid R propofol ketamine barbiturates benzodiazepines opioids ```

Answer 42

no analgesia sedative hypnotic propofol - rapid, high triglycerides ketamine - dissociative anesthetic, *inc cerebral BF barbiturates "want bars to stay open longer with less lines (CSF)" "itol" "lol" (above = thiopental) work on GABA, inc duration Cl- channel open *decrease cerebral BF* phenobarbital - inc liver enzymes, tx crigler-najjar ``` benzodiazepines "azolam" "azapram" GABA, inc frz Cl- channels open -midazolam = short procedure, conscious sedation -chlordiazepoxide = tx alcohol Tx OD with Flumazenil ``` ``` opioids - analgesia mu - beta-endorphin delta - encephalin kappa - dynorphin Butorphanol - less resp depression Dextromethorphan - cough suppression (OTC) Tramadol - analgesia Loperamide/Diphenoxylate - tx diarrhea Fentenyl - no histamine release (vs morphine) Tx OD - naloxone, naltrexone ```

Question 43

NMJ blocking agents - immobility: non-depolarizing depolarizing

Answer 43

non-depolarizing: competitive inhibitors nicotinic Ach R, can reverse with ChE inhibitor "curium" "curonium" "curarine" depolarizing: --succinylcholine binds nicotinic R with initial muscle contraction then stops phase 1 - low does, no reverse phase 2 - high does, can rev with AchE inhibitor **succinylcholine + inhaled anesthetic in pt with RYR 1 MT -> malignant hyperthermia, tx with Dantrolene

Question 44

Local anesthetic

Answer 44

``` blocks Na+ channel lidocaine 1 - worse with acid/inf, need more 2 - order of sedation: small myelinated (sensory) > small unmyelindated (SNS)> large myelinated (motor) *size is more important factor 3 - give with vasoconstrictor at non-block pts (dec BF, use less and no bleed) ```
