Ph; Anesthesiology
Pharmacology; anesthesiology
Groups of agents? | Sedative, muscle relaxant, analgesics, amnestic, volatiles |
Thiopental and Propofol problem? | Hypotensive |
Ketamine | also has analgesic effects; problem of dissociation (used more in children); bronchodilator (good for asthma) |
Etomidate; useful property and side effect? | does not induce hypotension (good for trauma patients); cause adrenal insufficiency |
The only sedative that is also analgesic? | ketamine |
Analgesics and their potency? | Fentanyl (X 100 compared to morphine); morphine and hydromorphon (X 5) |
Muscle relaxants and mode of action? | rocuronium, succinyl choline (the only depolarizing agent) |
succinyl choline | the only depolarizing one; may increase ICP and IOP and increases K (because of fasciculation) |
Amnestic | Midazolam |
Volatiles and one significant property for each? | N2O (does not induce malignant hyperthermia); sevoflurane (non-irritating, good for induction in children); desflurane (most rapid onset and offset); isoflurane (long offset, good for cardiac patients) |
Sedatives? | Thiopental; Propofol; ketamine; etomidate |
