reflexes are intact
Stage 2 of anesthesia- correct answers -delirium- unconscious, body responds reflexively,
pupils dilated, breath holding, respirations irregular, muscle tone intact.
most at risk for laryngospasm and aspiration. also MI
Stage 3 of anesthesia- correct answers -surgical anesthesia-
increasing degrees of muscular relaxation, unable to protect airway
Stage 4 of anesthesia- correct answers -medullary depression-

considered overdose
, Recovery and Emergence of anesthesia- correct answers occurs in reverse order of
induction...surgical, delirium, analgesia.
Hypnotic anesthesia or otherwise known as? correct answers barbiturates
Methohexital (brevital)- correct answers barbiturates
used for induction, sedation, and MAC...no antagonists
SE: hiccups, and coughing
Etomidate (amidate)- correct answers an induction agent that is a non-barbiturate.
emergency type situation because very short acting hypnotic, no analgesia.
decreases cerebral blood flow and cerebral oxygen consumption without decreasing BP aka
good for neuro patients..
SE: can suppress adrenal function for 5-8 hours
Propofol (deprivan)- correct answers non-barbiturate
rapid onset and emergency, short acting, no analgesia effect.
HYPOTENSION on induction
not reversible
Ketamine- correct answers produces profound state of analgesia and unconsciousness.
-increases HR and Co
-spontaneous ventilation maintained
-appear awake but unaware
-able to use lower opioid dose
emergency delirium
Benzodiazepines-
examples (3)- correct answers calming, sedation, suppression of seizure activity.
