1. Goals in providing anesthesia: pain-free, comfortable, safe environment for patients
2. Analgesia: inability to feel pain
3. What drugs provide analgesia?: local anesthesia
fentanyl
ketamine
4. Amnesia: lack of memory
5. What drugs provide amnesia?: versed
valium
6. What drugs provide relaxation and immobility?: denzodiazepines
propofol
ketamine
brevital
7. Hypnosis: loss of consciousness, feeling of being "asleep"
8. What drugs provide hypnosis?: propofol
brevital
9. What are the basic requites of an anesthetic agent?: 1. lack toxicity
2. nonflammable
3. posses minimal allergenicity
4. nonaddictive
10. What are additional desirable attributes of an anesthetic agent?: 1. maintenance
of the body's homeostatic mechanisms
2. rapid, smooth, and comfortable induction
3. freedom from post op nausea
4. retention to sufficient pharyngeal and laryngeal reflexes
5. feeling of well-being
6. rapid recovery/discharge
7. easily adapted for use in geriatric/pediatric
8. well-documented in literature
9. easily obtained
11. Pharmacokinetics - what is it?: effect the body has on the drugs
12. For a drug to be effective, what must happen?: it must be absorbed into the body and
distributed to the site of action

13. Metabolism - what is it: the action of breaking down the drug
14. Where are drugs normally metabolized?: the liver
15. Where are drugs normally eliminated?: the kidneys and urine
16. Pharmacodynamics - what is it: the effect the drug has on the body
17. Balanced anesthetic: several drugs are combined to have effects that complement each other
18. Where do drugs primarily effect in OMS?: the brain and CNS
19. Benzodiazepines - primary effect: center for emotion of the brain (reduce anxiety)
20. Propofol/brevital - primary effect: centers for wakefulness of the brain
21. Ketamine - primary effect: relay center of the brain
22. Narcotics - primary effect: opioid receptors located in the CNS
23. Routes for administration: 1. by mouth (PO)
2. intravenous (IV)
3. Intramuscular (IM)
4. inhalation
5. intraoral transmucosal
6. transdermal
7. rectal transmucosal
8. subcutaneous
9. intranasal transmucosal
24. Routes for administration - by mouth disadvantages: delayed onset
unpredictable results
problems with patient compliance
inability to be used in nauseated patient
25. Routes for administration - by mouth advantages: effectively used as a pre op anti-anxiety
med
most common route for pain control
26. Routes for administration - Intravenous advantages: rapid administration
rapid onset
allows titration
rapid dilution of caustic agents
provides ability to deliver large volumes
