ANSR 795 IV agents | Questions and answers | 2025/2026
What should you prepare for during your general anesthesia and airway management
general set up for any case
Drugs that are drawn up during a case 1 hour
must be used within ____ _____
Antibiotics must be giving within______of 1 hour
incision time
This drug decreases the sympathetic lidocaine
response to laryngoscopy/intubation
, this drug is used IV to reduce the burning Lidocaine
sensation of Propfol
This drug is the only local anesthetic that Lidocaine
can be given IV
This local anesthetic comes in multiple Lidocaine
concentrations and may have additives like
Epi
Two common drugs used for sedation for Propofol
induction/loss of consciousness Etomidate
Which receptor does propofol work on? GABA A
Which IV drug is an oil in water emulsion propofol
This drug causes burning sensation on IV Propofol
injection and is often used with Lidocaine
What is the distribution half-life of Propofol 2-8 min
Propofol is metabolized by... Liver
This drug works by suppressing Etomidate
the Reticular Activating System
Etomidate acts on this receptor GABA A
This sedative is associated with Etomidate
extrapyramidal side effects such as
myoclonus
This sedative is known for its cardiovascular Etomidate
stability and is popular for patients with
low b/p
These 2 sedatives, often used for induction, Etomidate
have minimal effects on respiratory function Ketamine
Adrenocorticoid suppression is common Etomidate
with the use of this induction/RSI
medication
mostly liver
how is Etomidate metabolized?
some plasma esterases
What receptor does Ketamine antagonize? NMDA (excitatory Glutamate)
This med works by dissociating the Ketamine
thalamus from the limbic cortex causing
sensory information to be unable to
be translated to the cortex for
interpretation
This drug makes a patient appear to be ketamine
conscious yet unable to process or
respond to sensory input
What is the Distribution half-life of Ketamine 10-15 minutes
Ketamine is metabolized by the liver
Active metabolites of this drug may Ketamine
accumulate with repeated doses and exert
effects
