Analgesia ......ANSWER........The state of being pain-free
throughout a procedure, often achieved with local anesthesia,
narcotics like fentanyl, and ketamine.
Amnesia ......ANSWER........The lack of memory of events during
surgery, typically provided by benzodiazepines such as
Versed® (midazolam) or Valium® (diazepam).
Toxicity ......ANSWER........A characteristic that an anesthetic
agent should lack to be clinically acceptable.
,age 2 of 56
Homeostatic mechanisms ......ANSWER........The maintenance of
the body's physiological stability, including blood pressure and
heart rate, during anesthesia.
Pharyngeal and laryngeal reflexes ......ANSWER........Reflexes
that should be retained to prevent aspiration during anesthesia,
while avoiding laryngeal spasm.
Postoperative euphoria ......ANSWER........A feeling of well-being
upon emergence from anesthesia.
Rapid recovery ......ANSWER........The quick return to readiness
for discharge after anesthesia.
Pharmacokinetics ......ANSWER........The study of the effect that
the body has on drugs, including absorption, distribution,
metabolism, and elimination.
,age 3 of 56
Absorption ......ANSWER........The process by which a drug enters
the body and is distributed to the site of action.
Distribution ......ANSWER........The process by which a drug is
transported to its target site, often dependent on blood flow.
Redistribution ......ANSWER........The movement of a drug from
one location in the body to another, typically from the brain to
fat or muscle tissue.
Metabolism ......ANSWER........The process of breaking down a
drug, usually occurring in the liver with the help of enzymes.
Metabolites ......ANSWER........The breakdown products of
metabolism, which can be either inactive or active with their own
effects.
, age 4 of 56
Anectine® (succinylcholine) ......ANSWER........A drug metabolized
by the plasma enzyme pseudocholinesterase.
Enzyme deficiency ......ANSWER........A condition that can
significantly affect drug metabolism and prolong its action.
Elimination ......ANSWER........The process of removing the drug
and the metabolites from the body, primarily through the
kidneys and urine.
Pharmacodynamics ......ANSWER........The effect that a drug has
on the body, including primary and secondary (side) effects.
Balanced anesthetic ......ANSWER........A technique that combines
several different drugs to achieve complementary effects.
Benzodiazepines ......ANSWER........Drugs that primarily reduce
anxiety by acting on the center for emotion in the brain.
