8
Q

how do dissociate anesthetics work

A

cyclohexanones like ketamine and tiletamine

block NMDA receptors and prevent binding of glutamate or glycine

this stops the AP

causes analgesia and anesthesia

ketamine needs to work with other drugs to cause anesthesia

glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter: binds to NMDA, Kainate or AMPA receptors and cause K out and Na in

Q

most anesthetics are lipophilic how does this effect distribution in the body

A

will go to brain and viscera first and cause sedation

but then levels in brain drop as drugs are redistributed into the fat

patient wakes up, but drug still in system

Q

pts with hypoalbuminemia will need to — the dose of propofol

A

decrease

97-99% of propofol binds to albumin - if there is less albumin to bind to then there is increased free propofol- ↑ effects

Q

what animals can have difficultly metabolizing propofol

A

sight hounds- have problem with liver metabolism (hydroxylation via CYP450)

cats- can’t metabolize drug by glucuronide conjugation, but can still metabolize in the kidney and lungs →heinz body formation

Q

effects of alfaxalone

Study These Flashcards
A

NO analgesia

suppression of brain activity: Sedation → Hypnosis → General anesthesia

22
Q

central excitation during recovery can occur in cats with the use of — sedation

Study These Flashcards
A

alfaxalone

this does not happen if you combine with sedatives and/or analgesics (opioids)

23
Q

— is an effective IM sedation for non-cooperating animals or animals at higher risk of anesthetic complications

24
Q

adverse effects of alfaxalone on respiratory system

Study These Flashcards
A

less effects than propofol when injected slowly

causes central respiratory depression (↓ tidal volume, and ↓RR)

↓ swallow reflex- need to intubate

can cause excitatory signs during recovery if not combined with sedative and/or analgesics

25
Adverse effects of alfaxalone on the CV system
unlike propofol, minimal side effects
26
metabolism of alfaxalone
liver can be used in sighthounds and cats, unlike propofol ## Footnote propofol causes the formation of heinz bodies in cats
27
when not to use alfaxalone
**animals with respiratory problems** ( alfaxalone causes ↓RR) **animals you can not intubate**- (alfaxalone ↓ swallowing reflex, needs to be intubated) **animals with heart disease** (even though alfaxalone has minimal effect on CV system)
28
--- is a ultra short acting anesthetic with high therapeutic index
etomidate (imidazole)
29
nonhypnotic CNS effects of Etomidate
↓EEG activity ↓ cerebral blood flow- direct cerebral vasoconstriction ↓ intracranial pressure and cerebral metobolic rate or consumption of O2
30
onset of etomidate
CNS depression in < 20 sec (ultra rapid onset) NO Pain relief
31
adverse effects of etomidate on respiratory system
none or minimal
32
adverse effects of etomidate on CV system
none or minimal
33
adverse effects of etomidate
**Inhibition of adrenal steroid genesis** (11β- hydroxylase) Hemolysis due to high osmolality of solution NO respiratory or CV effects **occasional excitatory effects**: myoclonus, vomiting, opisthotonus
34
etomidate distribution and elimination rates
rapid onset, rapid peak CNS 3 mins elimination 3 hrs
35
do you need to decrease dose of etomidate if you have hypoalbuminemia?
**No** only binds 76% unlike propofol which binds 97-99%
36
how is etomidate metabolized
liver plasma ester hydrolysis renal elimination of metabolities
37
when to use etomidate
pts with heart failure, shock or sepsis pts with increased intracranial pressure or seizures ## Footnote has no CV or respiratory effects unlike propofol or alfaxalone
38
when not to use etomidate
addisons (↓ adrenal function) severe stress syndrome **etomidate causes the ↓ production of steroids**
39
effect of cyclohexanones
dissociative anesthesia intense analgesia light sleep amnesia catalepsy- rigid muscles ## Footnote cyclohexanones cause dissociative anesthesia: ketamine, tiletamine
40
how does ketamine work
**block NMDA glutamate receptors** → analgesia and anesthesia block nicotonic ACh receptors: (excitatory receptors) interact with central opioid receptors, monoaminergic (NA, DA, serotonin) receptors and muscarinic ACh receptors also block NE re-uptake block voltage gated Ca channels in the heart block peripheral nerve conduction
41
why dissociate anesthesia for ketamine
**Selective suppression** of thalamoneocortical projection system → disconnection of thalamoneocortical from limbic and other subcortical areas
42
clinical signs of dissociative anesthesia
* Loss of consciousness despite neuronal activity outside neo-cortex * Catalepsy (catatonia) * Maintenance of protective reflexes * Skeletal muscle movements ## Footnote ketamine + tiletamine
43
adverse effects of ketamine on CNS
increased EEG activity increased cerebral blood flow (cerebral vasodilation) emergence delirium(dysphoria) → violent recovery (horses) ## Footnote opposite effect of classic anesthetics cyclohexanones cause dissociative anesthesia: ketamine, tiletamine
44
adverse effect of ketamine on respiratory system
mild decrease in RR and tidal volume cause **apneustic**, shallow and irregular breathing patterns, breath holding at peak inhale bronchodilation ## Footnote cyclohexanones cause dissociative anesthesia: ketamine, tiletamine
45
adverse effects of ketamine on CV system
**indirect stimulation**: ↑ SYMP and ↓NE reuptake causes ↑HR, ↑CO and ↑MAP Can cause **direct negative inotropic and vasodilatory actions** in old or CV compromised patients pro-arrhythmic
46
adverse effect of ketamine on digestive system
↑ salivation: may make intubation harder
47
adverse effects of ketamine on neuromusclar system
causes increased muscle ridigity- bad in pts with bone breaks decreased nerve conduction ## Footnote cyclohexanones cause dissociative anesthesia: ketamine, tiletamine
48
metabolism of ketamine
Extensive hepatic (CYP 450) metabolism * **N-demethylation to norketamine** (20-30 % rest activity) * then forms inactive compounds that go through glucuronide conjugation **cats no metabolism to inactive compounds**
49
when not to use ketamine
Animals with cardiovascular dysfunction * Cardiac failure (low cardiac contractility) * Decompensated shock (ketamine causes vasodilation) * Tachyarrhythmias Animals with pheochromocytoma Animals with hyperthyroidism Animals with CNS excitatory signs (ketamine causes dysphoria)
50
Tiletamine can cause severe--- therefore it is combined with zolazepam
catalepsy and convulsions ## Footnote cyclohexanones cause dissociative anesthesia: ketamine, tiletamine
