Term
I work my magic by blocking the body's parasympathetic nervous system.
Definition
Anticholenergic
Term
I undergo a process of redistribution in the body, traveling between the brain and fat and muscle tissue.
This property makes my effects on the body cumulative and can result in a slow recovery.
Definition
Barbituate
Term
I am a muscle relaxant and a sedative, with minimal adverse effects on the cardiovascular, respiratory, and GI systems.
Definition
Guafinesin
Term
I am both anti-emetic and anti-arrhythmic, but i can cause hypotension, which can lead to cardiovascular collapse.
Definition
Phenothizines
Term
I tend to cause very different reactions in young, healthy animals vs. old, ill, or debilitated one.
Definition
Benzodiazepine tranquilizers
Term
I am wanted for my ability to produce CNS depression, analgesia, muscle relaxation, and sedation; however, I also have the ability to cause significant bradycardia, reduced cardiac output, heart block, cardiac arrhythmias, and hypotension. For this reason, I am usually used in small amounts as part of a balanced anesthetic protocol.
Definition
Alpha 2 adrenergics
Term
Given intravenously, I can make you unconscious in a matter of seconds, but I don't last long and I don't provide any analgesia.
Definition
Propofol
Term
I cause minimal changes in cardiovascular and respiratory function, and I decrease both intracranial and introcular pressure. I am safer than propofol and thiopental, but I am expensive.
Definition
Imidazole derivatives
Term
My family members can affect you in many different ways, depending on what receptor in your body we attach to. We provide some of the best analgesia available, and we can be addicting.
Definition
Opioids
Term
I cause a cataleptic state.
Definition
Dissociative
