GRADED A+ 100% REAL (Anesthetic drugs and
techniques) 150 QUESTIONS FULLY SOLVE
Nitrous oxide - ANSWER: This anesthetic was first introduced in 1840 by Horace
Wells and William T. G. Morton
Brevital (methohexital) - ANSWER: Introduced in 1960 and became the primary
anesthetic agent until the beginning of 21st century
Diazepam (generic) - ANSWER: Valium (brand)
Meperidine (generic) - ANSWER: Demerol (brand)
Midazolam (generic) - ANSWER: Versed (brand
Propofol - ANSWER: Anesthetic introduced in 2002 when there was a shortage of
brevital
Analgesia - ANSWER: This effect makes someone feel no pain
Examples: fentanyl, local anesthesia, ketamine
Amnesia - ANSWER: This effect makes someone have no memory of surgery
Examples: versed, valium
Diazepam (generic) - ANSWER: Valium (brand)
Five primary areas within the brain that anesthetics work - ANSWER: Centers for
emotion, centers for wakefulness, the relay center, opioid receptors, vital centers
Centers for emotion - ANSWER: One of the primary areas within the brain that
anesthetics work
Benzodiazepines exert their effects here and reduce anxiety
Examples: diazepam (Valium), Midazolam (Versed)
Centers for wakefulness - ANSWER: One of the primary areas within the brain that
anesthetics work
Radiations from the base of the brain to the cerebral cortex maintain this center of
the brain
Examples of meds that interrupt this are propofol and methohexital
The relay center - ANSWER: One of the primary areas within the brain that
anesthetics work
Turning off this center allows that brain to not feel pain
Examples are ketamine, resulting in a state of dissociative anesthesia
, Opioid Receptors - ANSWER: One of the primary areas within the brain that
anesthetics work
This system is disrupted by medications to provide relief of pain
Examples: fentanyl, meperidine (Demerol)
The vital centers - ANSWER: One of the primary areas within the brain that
anesthetics work
The bodies normal mechanisms for respiration and circulation are controlled in this
center
Most medications disrupt the homeostasis of the respiratory system except for
ketamine which increases blood pressure
Pharmacokinetics - ANSWER: Refers to the effects that the body has on drugs (i.e.
what the body does to the drug)
Pharmacodynamics - ANSWER: Refers to the effects that the drugs have on various
body systems (i.e. what the drug does to the body)
Anesthetics in the brain - ANSWER: When anesthesia reaches the brain, it binds to
receptor sites. Short-acting drugs like propofol only remain attached for a short
period of time before they are moved to tissue such as fat or muscle. Valium is
longer acting and stays blinded to the site longer
Elimination of drugs in the body - ANSWER: Drugs pass into the kidneys and out
through the urine. Inhalation drugs go through lungs or perspiration
By mouth (PO) - ANSWER: Route of administration for medication
Disadvantages are delayed onset, unpredictable effects, problems with patient
compliance, inability to use when patients are nauseated
Topical - ANSWER: Route of administration for medication
More rapid absorption
Passes into systemic circulation without first going to the liver
Subcutaneous (SQ) - ANSWER: Route of administration for medication
Used for emergency drugs
Absorption is somewhat delayed
Rectal (PR) - ANSWER: Route of administration for medication
Advantage is good absorption
Not a desired route by patients
Intramuscular (IM) - ANSWER: Route of administration for medication
Good absorption
Unpredictable onset of drug effect
Not possible to titration dose of medication
