Term
the purpose of using atropine in GA regiment...
Definition
keep CV up (since other drugs may depress it)
Term
what is a desirable trait of anesthetic gases
Definition
LOW blood solubility
-less gets dissovled = quick onset
Term
the lower the blood/gas partition coefficient or solubility...

Definition
combine slow agent with fast agent (one with lower blood-gas coeff. usually N2O)
increase concentration

as lipid solubility increases, MAC...
Definition
will go down..
it has an indirect relationship to potency/solubility
Term
whats the issue of using N2O with a COPD patient

with COPD, breathing is stimulated by low O2 (and not high CO2 with normal pt.)...
so body won't breathe bc youre giving them enriched O2
