What is the inhalation anesthetic agent that is noted to be highly flammable and explosive
|
Ether
|
|
What are some factors that will decrease the MAC (minimal alveolar concentration)
|
-severe hypotension
-hypothermia -aging |
|
What anesthetic agent is noted for the slower induction and recovery
|
Methoxyflurane
|
|
What property is not desirable for inhalation anesthetic agents
|
If it requires high concentrations in the alveoli to produce anesthesia
|
|
What is the percentage of isoflurane that is metabolized by the liver
|
0.25% or minimal metabolism
|
|
What is the recommended maintence setting (what %) for isoflurane for a surgical plane of anesthesia
|
2-3 %
|
|
What is the anesthetic agent that is most potent
|
Halothane
|
|
What is the anesthetic agent that is the least soluble
|
Sevoflurane
|
|
What is true about mask induction of anesthesia
|
-best reserved for high risk patients that are adequately sedated
-can greatly increase the waste gas in the work environment -an anesthetic with low solubility is advised |
|
Can higher concentrations of Sevoflurane result in rapid changes in anesthetic depth leading to hypotension and respiratory depression
|
Yes
|
|
What is the inhalation anesthetic agent that has been associated with the production of metabolites that are toxic to the renal system
|
Methoxyflurane
|
|
What is the inhalation anesthetic agent that is not commonly used in a precision vaporizer
|
Methoxyflurane
|
|
What are some anesthetic agents that have been associated with some respiratory depression
|
-isoflurane
-methoxyflurane -halothane -sevoflurane |
|
What is the anesthetic gas that is a very weak anesthetic drug that cannot produce anesthesia by itself
|
Nitrous oxide
|
|
What is the inhalation anesthetic agent that has the most tendency to sensitize the heart to the production of epinephrine induced arrhythmias
|
Halothane
